Number Of Ingredients 9

Ingredients

150g (5.3oz) of plain flour
2 teaspoons of baking powder
pinch of fine sea salt
180g (6.4oz) of Fat Free Plain Greek Yoghurt (not Greek Style) - *see notes
2 cloves of garlic, minced
1/2 tablespoon of butter
1 tablespoon of finely chopped fresh cilantro (coriander)
sea salt
cooking oil spray

Steps:

Reserve a small amount of flour for dusting (about ¾ of a tablespoon) Combine the rest of the flour, baking powder and pinch of sea salt in a bowl
Add the Greek Yoghurt (make sure you only add the thick yoghurt part, none of the natural liquid that sits on top) and 1 of the minced garlic cloves and mix with a silicone spatula until all ingredients combined and the sides of the bowl are clear (don't use hands for this part or the dough will stick to your hands). Once you have one big ball of dough, you can knead all together with hands before proceeding to the next steps.
Divide the dough into 6 equal sized balls.
Dust one ball of the dough with a little reserved flour - place in between wax paper or parchment paper. Then place a board or heavy saucepan on top and flatten down as much as you can into a flat circle.
Then dust again and use a rolling pin to roll to naan bread shapes (Approx 5x7inches), transfer to a plate.
Repeat with remaining balls of dough.
Once all the naan breads are shaped. Heat a large frying pan (I like to use my cast iron pan for these, as you get the best result) over a medium high heat and spray with cooking oil spray.
When the pan is hot, add the naan bread (you can cook 2 to 3 at a time depending on the size of your pan), cook each side for approx 3 minutes, until browned/golden areas like a traditional naan bread. Watch they don't burn by just lifting to check, you may need to lower your heat slightly.
Once cooked melt the butter add the remaining minced garlic clove and finely chopped cilantro and brush this over the naan breads. I also like to add a pinch of sea salt to each one.
Enjoy!!!
