An easy way to prepare soft potato naan on a tawa
First, put the flour, salt, sugar, baking powder, and baking soda in a large bowl and mix them well. Now add curd and oil to it. Next, knead the soft dough with the help of lukewarm water. After the dough is ready, cover it and leave it aside for about one to two hours, until it puffs up a little and the naan is soft. Now mash the boiled potatoes well. Add onions, green chillies, green coriander, red chilli powder, coriander powder, dry mango powder, garam masala, salt and mix well.

Keep in mind that the filling should not be too wet. Now make equal sized balls of dough. Roll out a ball lightly and place the potato filling in its centre. Close the edges and gently roll it up again. Don’t make it too thin, or the filling may come out.
Bake the dhaba like naan on a wok
Heat the pan well. Now put some water on one side of the naan bread and stick it on the pan from the same side. Within some time, small bubbles will start to appear on the naan bread. Now carefully turn the pan upside down and cook the naan directly on the gas flame. As a result, the Naan will puff up well and will also appear a light golden color on top. This method gives it a tandoor-like taste. When the naan bread is ready, spread butter or ghee on it. This increases the flavor variety and the naan stays soft for a long time.
