Naan - A Flat Bread

For this weeks blogging marathon I'm showcasing "Naan" recipes. Today I'm sharing recipe for "Naan". Check this Blogging Marathon page for the other Blogging Marathoners doing BM#38.

Naan

Naan is a flat bread made using flour, yeast, yogurt & milk. To make a naan one might have a tandoori oven. As a replacement you can use a oven or stove top pan method in making this bread. I made this dish using a stove top pan method & it is one of the easiest methods to make too.
