Preparation

In a small bowl, dissolve the yeast and sugar in warm milk. Let it sit for 5-10 minutes, until it becomes frothy.

In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour and salt. Mix well.

Add the whisked yogurt and the yeast mixture to the flour. Knead the dough for about 5 minutes, until it becomes soft and elastic.

Cover the dough with a clean kitchen towel and let it rise in a warm place for about 2 hours, or until it doubles in size.

Punch down the dough and divide it into 4 equal portions. Roll each portion into a ball.

Preheat a non-stick pan or tawa over medium heat.

Take one dough ball and roll it into a naan shape, about 6-7 inches in diameter.

Brush the rolled naan with melted ghee on one side and sprinkle nigella seeds on top.

Place the naan on the preheated pan, ghee side down, and cook for about 1-2 minutes, until bubbles start to appear on the surface.

Flip the naan and cook for another 1-2 minutes, until it puffs up and gets brown spots.

Remove the cooked naan from the pan and brush it with some more melted ghee, if desired.

Repeat the process for the remaining dough portions.

Serve the Khameeri Naan hot with your favorite curry or dip.
