    Cook the dough for a few seconds. Lift the Tawa and show the other side of the dough to direct flame to cook the other side and also to get a chared look that we get in a tandoor naan.

    To make Garlic Naan, add the finely chopped garlic on the facing side(the side where butter is applied before cooking) and cook it the same way. The garlic side has to be cooked on direct flame.
