This easy skillet naan is soft, tender, and lightly chewy, made with simple pantry ingredients and cooked right on the stovetop. Using all-purpose flour gives it a classic naan texture that pairs perfectly with curries, dips, grilled meats, or wraps.

Ingredients

  • 2 large eggs
  • 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/4 cup plain Greek yogurt
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 Tablespoon olive oil (for cooking)
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder or 1 clove fresh garlic, minced (optional)
  • Fresh parsley or cilantro, chopped, for garnish (optional)

Preparation

  1. In a mixing bowl, whisk together eggs, flour, Greek yogurt, baking powder, and salt until smooth. The batter should be thick but easily spreadable.
  2. If the batter is too thick, add 1–2 teaspoon water or yogurt to loosen slightly.
  3. Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and lightly coat with olive oil.
  4. Spoon 2–3 Tablespoon of batter into the skillet and gently spread into a round about 1/4 inch thick.
  5. Cook 2–3 minutes per side until lightly golden and cooked through.
  6. Remove from the skillet and repeat with remaining batter.
  7. Garnish with fresh herbs if desired and serve warm.

Cook’s Notes

  • For garlic naan, mix garlic into the batter or brush cooked naan with melted garlic butter
  • Keep heat at medium to avoid browning before the center cooks
  • Best served fresh, but leftovers reheat well in a dry skillet
