Instructions
1. Prepare the Dough:

2. Roll each portion into an oval or round shape.
4. Cook the Naan:
1. Heat a tawa (griddle) or skillet over medium-high heat.
2. Lightly brush one side of the naan with water and place the wet side down on the hot skillet.
3. Cook until bubbles start forming (about 1-2 minutes).
5. Add the Spicy Topping:
1. Flip the naan and immediately brush the spicy butter mixture on the cooked side.
2. Cook for another 1-2 minutes until golden brown spots appear.
6. Final Touch:
• Optional: Place naan directly over an open flame for a few seconds to char the edges slightly.
• Brush with more butter if desired and serve hot!
