Ingredients
For the Naan Dough
- 2 cup All-Purpose Flour
- 1/4 cup Yogurt
- 1/2 tsp Sugar
- 1/2 cup Milk warm
- 2 tbsp Clarified Butter clarified butter
- 1/2 tsp Salt
- 1/4 tsp Baking Powder
For the Mawa Stuffing
- 1/4 cup Mawa also known as mawa; unsweetened, grated
- 2 tbsp Almonds crushed
- 2 tbsp Cashews crushed
- 1 tsp Sugar powdered
- Pinch Salt
- 1/4 tsp Ginger Powder dry
- 1/4 tsp Garam Masala
- 1-2 tbsp Tutti Frutti for garnishing
- 2 tbsp Clarified Butter for brushing
Instructions
Prepare the Dough
- Sift together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt.
- Make a well in the center of the flour mixture.
- Add the yogurt, warm milk, and sugar to the well.
- Gradually incorporate the flour into the wet ingredients, using your fingers, to form a soft dough.
- Lightly oil the dough, cover it, and let it rest for at least 3-4 hours, or preferably overnight in the refrigerator.
Make the Mawa Stuffing
- In a bowl, combine the grated khoya (mawa), crushed almonds, crushed cashews, powdered sugar, a pinch of salt, dry ginger powder, and garam masala. Mix well to ensure all ingredients are evenly distributed.
Assemble and Cook the Naan
- Lightly oil your hands and gently knead the rested dough.
- Take a lemon-sized portion of the dough and roll it into a small disk.
- Place a spoonful of the mawa stuffing in the center of the disk.
- Bring the edges of the dough together to enclose the stuffing, shaping it like a small kachori.
- Roll out the stuffed dough into a thin naan, dusting with flour if needed.
- Sprinkle some tutti frutti on top and gently press it into the naan using a rolling pin.
- Brush one side of the naan with water.
- Heat a cast iron skillet or tawa over high heat until it's very hot.
- Place the naan on the hot skillet, water-side down.
- Once the naan starts to puff up and the dough begins to dry, carefully adjust the flame to maintain a good browning while preventing burning.
- Turn the naan and cook the other side until it's golden brown.
- Remove from the skillet and brush with ghee.
- Serve warm and enjoy!
Recipe Notes
Expert Tips for Perfect Mawa Stuffed Kashmiri Naan
- For extra flavor, you can add a pinch of cardamom powder to the mawa stuffing.
- If the dough is too sticky, add a little more flour, a tablespoon at a time, until it reaches the desired consistency.
- Don't overcrowd the skillet when cooking the naan; cook them in batches to ensure even browning.
- For a richer flavor, use homemade ghee instead of store-bought ghee.
