- Preheat a large steel or cast iron pan while you prepare the naan.
- Dust a kitchen surface with flour and divide the dough into 5 portions (about 85-90g each).
- Take one portion and flatten it out using your hands or a rolling pin, rolling it to about 5-6mm thickness.
- Place 2-3 tablespoons of filling in the centre, pull the dough from the sides to the centre to form a pocket, and seal by pinching the dough.
- Roll out the filled dough again to ⅛ – ¼ inch thickness.
- Sprinkle a few drops of water on top and add the chopped garlic, coriander, and cheese, spreading it around to ensure it sticks.
- Flip the dough and sprinkle more water on the other side.
- Place it onto your hot pan, cover and cook for 45 seconds on medium heat.
- Remove the lid, turn the bread over and cook for 1-2 minutes off the heat.
- Brush with softened butter mixed with garlic, and top with chopped coriander.
