How to make whole wheat naan with step by step images

In a wide bowl add wheat flour, baking powder, baking soda, oil and curd. Mix well.
Now add milk and water gradually to form a soft non sticky dough. Knead for for about 2 minutes and soft dough will be achieved. Cover the dough and keep it aside for 3 to 4 hours.
After 3 to 4 hours the dough will rise a bit. Now pinch a medium size dough ball and flatten it into tear shaped or round shaped naan using a rolling pin. Flatten it just like regular chapati.
Now spread ¼ tsp kalonji seeds on the top of the rolled dough and roll it once gently using rolling pin so that seeds are embedded in it. Repeat the whole process till you finish all the dough.
Heat a tawa and when the tawa is really hot place the flattened naan dough and then put the flame to medium. Do not press it or flip it within few seconds you will be able to notice the naan fluffing well (as shown pic 2) at that point drizzle some oil around it and flip it gently.
After flipping do not press it let the naan fluff again, then when you find brown spots in both sides transfer it gently to a plate. Smear some butter on it for glossy look and garnish it with some chopped cilantro fir added flavor and taste. Serve it hot with any curry if your choice
