3. Now start adding the milk little by little, in the flour and prepare a soft dough. Cover the dough with a damp kitchen towel and keep it aside for 5-6 hours.
4. Before you begin with the naan making, take the dough and massage it to make the texture more even. But make sure to do it gently.
5. Now start making small dough balls out of this dough.
6. Add some extra flour on the rolling surface and with the help of a rolling pin start flattening the dough ball.
7. It is very important to add layers to your naan, so after you have rolled it a bit you need to fold the naan in half and then in a quarter so that you have a triangle. But don’t forget to add butter or oil to these layers.
8. Now add some more dry flour to the naan and roll it till you reach the desired size of the naan.
9. Now put the ready naan on a hot tawa. The naan will stick to it. After sometime check it with your fingers and if the top portion of the naan feels a little bit hard then sprinkle some water on it and flip the tawa.
