Buttery Naan

After nearly a year in my drafts, I'm finally sharing this because, honestly, I need a boost. Lately, I've felt a constant sense of not fitting in, sidelined, and overwhelmed by emotions. Moving away from a place I was just getting to adore a lot is tough, especially given the circumstances – the lack of open communication is just unbearable! Feeling small and insignificant is never fun. Today, being miles away from home hits differently, realizing I wouldn't feel this way among my people. Nevertheless, I'm a citizen of the world, ready for any adventure, planned or not 😉.

Whisk flour, sugar, baking powder and salt in a large bowl

Add yogurt and half the butter. Mix in with your fingers until crumbly and fully absorbed

Once rested, divide dough into even-sized balls and keep covered in the bowl as you work on each

Dry fry on a tawa over medium high heat until it puffs up and the first side browns in spots. Flip and fry the other side
