Instructions
Preparing the Filling
- Place ground lamb, onions, garlic and ginger paste, cumin, turmeric, freshly ground black pepper, garam masala, tomato paste, salt and fresh coriander leaves in a bowl.
- Mix them until all combined, and set them aside in a fridge to let them marinate until the dough is ready.
Preparing the Dough
- Pour the warm water into a large bowl.
- Whisk in the yeast and half of the flour, mix, cover the bowl and leave in a warm place for 30 minutes.
- Stir in the yogurt and add the rest of the flour, salt, and baking powder. mix with your hands to form a soft and sticky dough.
- Spoon 2 teaspoon of the ghee or butter and rub it over the dough. Roughly squeeze the dough a few times, and cover the bowl with cling film or a clean damp kitchen cloth. and leave it to rise for another 15 minutes.
- Pour another 1 teaspoon ghee or melted butter onto the dough and rub lightly all over. Turn the dough out onto a lightly oiled work surface and knead the dough for 30 seconds. Return it to the bowl, cover it, and leave it for 15 minutes to rise in a warm place.
- By this time, the dough becomes much smoother. Knead lightly on the oiled surface for a minute and divide the dough into 4 equal pieces, roll them into balls, lightly dust with flour, and leave covered for 5 minutes before shaping.
Cooking the Naan Breads
- Heat a large heavy-based non-stick pan or a large skillet on medium to high heat.
- Take one of the dough balls and roll it out to a size of a small plate using a rolling pin. While working on 1 dough ball, keep the remaining balls covered. Place about 2 -3 tablespoon of the mince filling in the center and pull the edges up, seal and shape into a ball again.
- Lightly flour the ball and turn it into a teardrop or oval shape (about 3 mm or ⅛“ ) using your fingers or a rolling pin.
- When the pan is really hot, place the naan and cook until golden brown then flip it using a tong.
- Put on a plate and sprinkle some chopped coriander.
- Keep them wrapped in a clean cloth while you roll out and cook the remaining naan bread.

Notes
- When making Keema Naan, it is very important to roll out the dough carefully to avoid having the keema rip through the dough.
- They freeze beautifully! You can keep the leftovers in the freezer for up to 3 months.
- The best type of flour for naan bread is plain white flour or all-purpose flour.
- You can read all the useful tips about how to make the perfect naan dough on my post about Garlic Naan - Indian Flatbread.
