Garlic Naan

Naan is an leavened indian flat bread which is common in most of the indian cuisine.It tastes great when you eat hot.Still,I can remember those days when I ate naan with Paneer butter masala ,for the first time ...with my sister.I surfed a lot in internet and find this recipe as perfect for making best naan.Breads are really too soft and tasty and to make garlic naan, I just brush the top side of the bread with some olive oil and topped with some chopped garlic and coriander leaves for its richness. Serve this delicious bread hot with some spicy gravy.I made palak paneer as a combination,for a perfect balanced diet.
