Ingredients
For the bread
- 250 g plain flour
- 250 g PLAIN yogurt
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1 pinch sea salt
For the chilli oil
- 2 tablespoon olive oil
- 3 green chillies very finely diced
- 2 garlic cloves grushed
- 0.5 teaspoon sea salt
- 1 teaspoon red chilli flakes
Instructions
- In a bowl, add 2 tablespoon Olive oil, 3 Green chillies, 1 teaspoon Red chilli flakes, 2 Garlic cloves and 0.5 teaspoon Sea salt. Mix well.
- Put 250 g Plain flour, 1 tablespoon Baking powder, 250 g Plain yogurt and 1 pinch Sea salt for the bread into a large mixing bowl.
- Put on a floured surface and knead for 2 minutes.
- Cut the dough into eight equal pieces.
- Roll out until about 0.5cm/0.25 inch thick. If possible, pull into the traditional "teardrop" shape.
- Divide the chilli oil between the dough and brush all over one side of each.
- Heat a dry frying pan over a high heat. Cook each naan bread until charred spots appear and the naan start to puff up - about 2 minutes each side.

Notes
- Make sure you wear gloves when chopping the chillies, or wash your hands very, very well after chopping. Don't say we didn't warn you!
- Don't worry about spending ages kneading this bread. You just need to bring all the mixture together and then knead a couple of times to make it smooth and it will be good to roll out.
- You need to make sure that the pan is very hot when the bread goes in it. This is so the bread cooks quickly and puffs up.
- If you don't have a rolling pin, then you can use a wine bottle to roll out these easy naan breads.
- Make sure you roll the naan thin enough otherwise it will take longer to cook the insides, and the outsides will burn.
