Ingredients
- 1 cup Jowar Flour (Sorghum)
- 1 cup Whole Wheat Flour
- 1/4 cup Methi Leaves (Fenugreek Leaves) finely chopped

- 1/4 cup Curd (Dahi / Yogurt)
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 1 teaspoon Sugar
- 10 cloves Garlic finely chopped

Steps
- To begin making the Jowar Garlic Naan Recipe, Let us make the dough.
- To make the dough, in a mixing bowl, combine the jowar flour, wheat flour, methi leaves, yeast, salt and sugar.
- Start by making the dough with all the yoghurt and then add a little water at a time and only use required amount of water to make a firm dough. Add a teaspoon of oil to coat the dough and knead for a few more minutes until smooth.
- Set the dough aside to rest covered for 2 hours. After 2 hours, knead once again and divide the dough into equal portions.
- Preheat the iron griddle on medium high heat.
- Roll the portions of dough into balls; flatten these balls with the palm of your hand.
- Take a portion of the dough, toss it on the flour and roll out into oval shape.
- As you roll them out, you can keep tossing the dough in dry flour while rolling; this will prevent it from getting sticky when rolling them out.
- After the first roll of the dough ball, sprinkle some garlic on the surface of the dough, lightly press it down and begin to roll it again.
- Once you got a nice oval shaped naan of medium thickness, transfer it on the hot griddle. Let it cook for 2-3 minutes.
- Then flip the Jowar Garlic Naan and smear about 1/2 a teaspoon of ghee. Using a flat spatula do a light pressing and turning motion to cook to the naan.
- Flip to the other side and press and turn the naan in a similar way, smear ghee once again. You will notice brown spots around the naan and it will be slightly crisp. Remove from heat and place on a platter and serve hot.
- Continue the similar process with the remaining rolled portions and serve hot.
