👩‍🍳 Method

1. Activate the yeast:
   In a large bowl, mix warm water, sugar, yeast, and ¼ cup flour. Stir well and let it sit for about 10 minutes until the mixture becomes frothy and bubbly.

2. Prepare the dough:
   Add the remaining flour, salt, baking soda, and olive oil to the activated yeast mixture. Mix and knead to form a soft, smooth dough.
   (If needed, add a little more flour or water for the right consistency.)

3. Let it rise:
   Cover the dough with a damp cloth or plastic wrap and place it in a warm spot for about 1 to 1.5 hours, or until it doubles in size.

4. Shape the naan:
   Punch down the dough and divide it into 7–8 equal portions.
   Roll each portion into a circle or oval shape (medium thickness).

5. Add toppings:
   Sprinkle coriander leaves and kalonji on top, pressing gently so they stick.
   Brush a little water on the other side (the side that will touch the skillet).

6. Cook on tawa (skillet):
   Heat a tawa or cast-iron skillet on medium-high heat.
   Place the watered side of the naan onto the tawa — it will stick.
   Cook until bubbles form, then flip the tawa upside down over an open flame (or use tongs to roast the top directly) until it gets nice golden-brown spots.

7. Finish with butter:
   Once cooked, remove the naan and brush generously with butter.

8. Serve hot!
   Enjoy your soft, buttery naan with any curry or dal of your choice. 😋
