Anyone Who Loves Naan MUST NOT Read This On An Empty Stomach
After all, how can one EVER forget the cute uncle at every tandoor who flashes you a big smile before handing over the piping hot naan wrapped in yesterday’s newspaper?

The whole process very fascinating, might I add?

Remember when you were little and you couldn’t help but keenly observe how swift these guys were?

Masters of their trade, the tandoor walay uncle always had a system.
Notice how they all moved in unison?

Each person has a task and they know just how to get it done in the 2 minute average waiting time.
This is the stuff of those big fat business textbooks. And Kaizen.

When you have to wait for deedaar of your naan.
Aur thorra sa…muskurao.
And when that moment is finally here.

Grilled Garlic Cheese Naan Bread
Forget grilled cheese croutons! Try "Pan Grilled Garlic Cheese Naan Croutons", a new cheesy bread to soak into your favorite soup!
What happens when love for Garlic Naan goes beyond Indian Dinner?! Simple! I find everything "dunk-able" to enjoy my favorite bread. Really, a hot creamy soup or sizzling chicken curry, cheese stuffed pan-grilled garlic naan will make anything taste even more delicious.
Won't you agree?!
Honestly, my family loves homemade naans.... specially "garlic naan" so so much that we don't even need reason to enjoy a few... In breakfast or dinner, a naan bread in meal does not need a special occasion.
Not going too far, you know I love serving soups for dinner. Of course you know! That's all I have been sharing whole past week. So, guess what?! A pan-grilled cheesy garlic naan joins my soup dinner ALL the time.
Before I forget, I must tell you that this naan has so many qualities of cheese stuffed bread that it is safe to even call it:
1) out-side-in pizza, charred to perfection
2) a stuffed garlic cheese bread
3) even grilled-cheese-croutons, to dunk in a creamy tomato soup or a butter chicken! yummm!
or a gorgeous soup which I'm going to share with you soon!
4) oh, or a made-from-scratch Mexican "Indian" Cheese Quesadilla!!
Okay, honestly, I really was so confused what should I call this cheese naan bread that I opted for the simplest name. You can eat it any way you like it
Dough recipe for this garlic naan is pretty simple and close to my original Garlic Naan recipe. Only, instead of plain garlic naan, this one is stuffed with spinach and cheese filling.
Simple ingredients and simple Cooking Method
Ingredients to make naan are pretty pantry-friendly.... plain old flour, water, salt, yeast, garlic and cheese...... and cooking method is super simple too.... Plain old gas stove and a skillet/griddle.
Traditional Indian naans are cooked in very-hot clay oven known as Tandoor. At home, best way to cook naan is not conventional oven but gas stove and plain old skillet or a gas/charcoal grill. Direct heat of stove is really what makes naan crispy, crusty at the edges with traditional slight-charred taste. Almost like a stone-baked pizza out of a traditional Italian brick oven!
For it's simplicity, more than a recipe, in this post I'm sharing with you scrumptious ways to enjoy Indian garlic naan.
I often enjoy these cheesy naans as:
1) triangles in appetizer course with some marinara or hot curry sauce.
2) on side with any hot creamy soup.
3) for Indian-style Sunday breakfast.
4) last but no way the least, a homemade Indian Curry Dinner!
One naan bread.... endless possibilities!! How good is that?!
Just remember, exactly like grilled cheese croutons or any cheese bread, cheese stuffed naans are also best when served hot, just out of skillet and always.... I mean really, always... dunk in hot soup/curry/dip to enjoy every bit of comfort these bring with it.
Since Naan dough does not require too much kneading... I often make the dough while I'm starting to work on the soup. A classic one-pot-soup takes 35-40 minutes start to finish and by the time soup finishes, naan dough is ready to turn into cheesy garlic croutons.
Freeze the dough or Make Fresh!
Just so you know, naan dough also freeze beautifully. Exactly like pizza dough.
However, I prefer making a fresh dough since time it takes to thaw frozen dough is almost same as time it takes to make fresh garlic dough. So, why am I sharing idea to freeze naan dough?
Well, specially when I have all plans to make some soup or Indian curry to serve with naan for dinner... I transfer the frozen dough from freezer to refrigerator in the morning. In evening, while soup cooks, cheese naans are ready in no time!! Really, 15 minutes and you are ready to serve the dinner!
No-Yeast Version?
Oh, and if you are allergic to yeast or just because you want to, try this same grilled cheese naan recipe but without yeast. I got you covered with is No-Yeast naan recipe. Use the dough as per no-yeast recipe and stuffing instructions in this recipe for no-yeast version.
One thing is certain, these naans will sure make anyone forget store-bought naan. I know, I often say this whenever I talk about my garlic naans....
...but you get it right? Homemade is the best!
For Cheese Naans, No Butter necessary (for a change)
Okay, enough about yummy melting cheesy goodness of these naans.
Now, I must tell you that these naans don't need that generous brush of melted butter.
Ask me, why?
Well, no matter how much I love butter on naan... Cheese Naan really don't need layer of butter. Plus, since we dipping'em in hot soup or curry, the layer of butter is absolutely not required.
So no butter and also, there is a good serving of whole wheat. This, you can only get in homemade naans.... restaurants will not be that conscious for yaa ;-)
Freeze Instructions:
The beauty of homemade naans is that you can freeze them for later use. Both cooked or uncooked. Since it made-at-home, so freshness is sealed right in the beginning and then perfect Homemade Indian Food any day of the week! Check the instructions to freeze here.
Let's head straight to the recipe! Enjoy!

Dam man I am watching this thread with email notification. The first ever.
I love filled rotis Paraths or anything filled.
This seems an Afghani Naan a friend of mine used to bring it for me I need its recipe. Its speciality is if you keep it for 2 days it stays fresh absolutely fresh. Its baked in a upside down tawa over karhayee. Some ingredients I remember is Rosmore, Milk, Flour, don't remember the right procedure. If any one could tell me I will be grateful.
