Keema Naan | Qeema Naan || How to make stuffed keema naan with step-by-step photos
Stuffed keema naan is a popular type of bread from Pakistani cuisine, It such a
delicious and spiced stuffed bread and is majority enjoyed with different variations
of veggies, daal, or meat of their choice
Keema naan is an absolutely
delicious recipe, This is something I cook perhaps once or twice a year but
whenever I do it’s an absolute treat_ Keema Naan wins major points because is a complete meal in itself. However, it is totally elevated when served alongside green chutney or onion salad
If you’re feeling fancy, serve it with some fat
potato chips and an ice-cold Coke and call it a day
The recipe for the keema I am using for this is pretty much the same as my chapli kabab keema mixture I find this recipe has the perfect balance of spices and didn’t need any improvements. If you want a spin on things, feel free to add some chopped mint or any additional spice you would usually, use in your own family's standard keema recipe.
Usually, people use cooked mince for stuffing
naan but here I had an experiment before
the month of Ramadan to make naan with raw marinated mince, trust me I never
had in my life such a juicy and mouthwatering naan, don’t understand that I am
praising myself from my tongue
I am telling you the outcome that I got after
preparing keema naan, You will also feel like that thus, need to try
accordingly to my recipe
It doesn’t make a difference whether you are
making naan in the oven or tawa or using both methods tawa+oven_ but if your naan dough
or filling isn't prepared very well your naan won’t give you a desirable taste
This keema stuffing can be used in
samosa, sandwiches, or spaghetti as you can check out the naan dough recipe on my blog

Should You
Use an Oven or Pan for Cooking Naan?
- Traditionally Naans are baked in a super hot clay oven. Obviously, we don’t have access to those (if you do, lucky you! Use that!) therefore we’re left with two options: our regular home oven or our stovetop.
- Typically recipes ask you to first cook your Naan on a pan on the stovetop and once it has cooked from the bottom, transfer it to the oven. The oven method leads to more even browning – I’ve used this method for the photographs taken in this post.
- If you don’t have an oven though, it’s totally fine to cook your Naan entirely on a pan on top of your stovetop. You can essentially cook it the way you’d cook a roti, on your tawa. Cooking on the pan leads to less even browning, but it is quicker and more efficient than the oven method.
- In terms of flavor, I’m inclined to say there isn’t much of a difference between both ways

Recipe Tips:
- To make the perfect soft naan first we require the soft dough
- The more you knead soft the dough the much you get the perfect naan
- The mince should be dry as moist minced can tear your naan or may turn soggy
- Each naan dough ball weight should be between 150-200g because less than 150g of dough makes your naan stiff
- The filling quantity should be 25% less as more filling may come out of the dough due to overfilling
- If you are cooking the naan just in the oven take care of the timing to bake the naan as keeping it in the oven for a long time will make your dough hard
