Garlic Cilantro Naan

Happy Labour day everyone 🙂. We are bound at home for 2020 Labour day and there's another day of cooking and baking. Naan is one of famous Indian food which is loved by Indians and pupil all around the world. There are so many varities of naan available which made us spoil for choices. Butter naan,garlic naan,cheese naan,plain naan,Kashmiri naan and etc. I always love plain or garlic butter naan everytime we dine out in Indian restaurants but sometimes the naan happened to be hard and lack of taste. Frustrated, i made my own at the comfort of my home and i shall say, i love it the core. My easy peasy recepi yields soft,spongy and beautifully flavored naan. The generous brushing of garlic butter helps to retain the moistness of the naan and the fragrance of garlic is absolutely divine. What more, sprinkling of cilantro or chopped coriander leaves adds freshness and flavor to the ever favourite Indian flatbread.  Serve with hot or warm with your favourite gravy and enjoy.
