Ingredients

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • ½ cup plain yogurt
  • ½ pound ground beef
  • 1 medium onion
  • 1 teaspoon garam masala
  • ½ cup shredded cheese
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil

Instructions

  1. 1

    In a large bowl, mix 2 cups flour, 1/2 cup yogurt, 1/2 tsp salt, and 1 tbsp olive oil. Add water gradually until a soft dough forms, about 5 minutes.

  2. 2

    Knead the dough on a floured surface for 5 minutes until smooth. Cover and let rest for 30 minutes.

  3. 3

    While dough rests, heat 1 tbsp olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add 1 chopped onion and cook until soft, about 5 minutes.

  4. 4

    Add 1/2 pound ground beef and 1 tsp garam masala. Cook, breaking up meat, until browned and cooked through, about 8 minutes. Season with remaining salt.

  5. 5

    Preheat a cast-iron skillet or griddle over medium-high heat. Divide dough into 4 balls.

  6. 6

    Roll one ball into a 6-inch circle. Place 2 tbsp of meat filling and 2 tbsp cheese on one half, fold over, and press edges to seal.

  7. 7

    Cook the stuffed naan on the hot skillet for 2-3 minutes per side, until golden and puffed. Repeat with remaining dough and filling.

  8. 8

    Serve hot, topped with microgreens if desired.
