Kulcha Naan/ Indian flat bread
Naan is a leavened, oven-baked flatbread found in the cuisines mainly of India. It mostly consists of egg and milk products like yogurt. The egg brings crispiness to the naan while the yogurt helps in digestion of the gluten. It is generally prepared from wheat flour. However, spices are not used in naan. Spices are mostly used to make kulchas. Therefore, what I present here can better be called kulcha naan.

Cooking Instructions
- 1
In a small bowl, combine yeast, sugar, warm water and let it sit till it becomes frothy
- 2
Once frothy add oil, yogurt, and egg and mix until evenly combined.
- 3
In another bowl, prepare the dough with the flour and water which should be soft but not sticky.
- 4
Let the dough sit on a warm corner of your kitchen counter for about an hour. After one hour you will find that the dough has almost doubled in size.
- 5
Make small balls and roll in an oval shape. While rolling add cilantro and Kalo jeera. Take a non-stick pan and heat it. To the pan put rolled naans and after you see bubbles turn it to the other side to cook the other side.
- 6
Serve them hot with any chicken or paneer dishes.
- 7
Notes: After rolling the naan keep each naan separately or you can pile them one top of another with baking sheets in between. Make the naans on high flame else they will turn crispy

Air Fryer Naan / Flat Bread Air Fryer Naan / Flat Bread
I love Naan especially fresh and hot. It is surprising easy to do in your air fryer and because you are using an air fryer, you don't get any smoke like you do when you use a cast iron pan.This recipe is super flexible. You can use different sweeteners though they need to be sugar in nature for the yeast to work. As well, you can mix in things like dried fruit just before you let the dough prove; make sure your mix ins don't contain salt or too much moisture.If you want something that is whole wheat based, you can swap 2 cups of flour for it.If you feel like adding some seasoning to the rolled out dough before you air fry it, that works too. Just remember that seasoning in the air fryer goes a long ways

Chewy and Light Naan Bread Chewy and Light Naan Bread
I wanted to eat naan that's chewy and moist like the naan at Indian restaurants.By spreading the dough with oil, it becomes easier to flatten, and doesn't stick to your hands.Stretch the dough out in your hands, rather than rolling it outMake the dough bumpy rather than uniformly flat.
