Bash the nutmeg in a plastic bag with a rolling pin to break it into several smaller pieces 

Remove the seeds from the Cardamom pods - again, a gentle bash with a rolling pin will suffice, or use a pestle and mortar.it is optional if needed, But I prefer not to need to remove the pods' skin 

Place all the spices in a dry frying pan or skillet and heat over very low heat, stirring constantly.

As soon as the aroma from the spices is released, remove the pan from the heat. (This step is essential to release the aromatic oils from the spices)

        

                                                             

Working with only a small quantity at a time, but the spices in an electric blender or grinder   

                                                  

And grind them to a fine powder.

Take it out from the grinder jar and transfer it to the bowl/plate, Garam masala is ready to use in the recipe 

           

It can be stored in a bottle and paste the label with the spice name

Homemade Tandoori Naan Recipe

                                                                             

           

Homemade Tandoori Roti ||Tandoori Naan || How to make tandoori naan With step-by-step photos

Tandoori naan is the most popular leavened flatbread. mostly cooked in a tandoor (clay oven) it's one of the most ordered flatbreads in a Pakistani hotel. Pakistan is the most bought naan available at every second tandoor or hotel. Mainly this roti is served with gravy-based curry or dal (lentils)

A typical naan recipe involves mixing white or whole wheat flour with active dry yeast, salt, and water. The dough is kneaded for a few minutes, and then set aside to rise for a few hours. Once risen, the dough is divided into balls of about 150g, flattened, and cooked. In Pakistani cuisine, naans are typically flavored with fragrant essences, such as rosewater, khus (vetiver), or butter or ghee melted on them. Nigella seeds are commonly added to naan as cooked in Indian and Bangladeshi restaurants 

                                       

Here I kneaded naan dough by mixing a little milk with water to make it stay soft. No other fancy ingredients are added in this recipe except for salt and instant dry active yeast I cooked on the stovetop this bread can be baked in the oven for 3-4 minutes at 250 C or 450 F whatever is easy for you you can do to make it at home

For the best result follow my detailed step-by-step photo  instructions and tips below the recipe card

        

Recipe note:

1. Naan is always made with all-purpose flour maida. you can substitute all-purpose flour with wheat flour. I have made them with fine flour
2. Naans are pretty much made in different shapes and thicknesses. for fluffy naan bread make them slightly thicker.do not make them too thick they remain uncooked
3. Naan turns hard if you toast too long, not enough moisture in the dough, if you toast on low heat, or not knead the dough enough
4. Naan doesn’t get bubbles if your pan is not hot enough, the dough is not moist enough, or if improper leavening
5. If you don’t like to add yeast to the dough then alternately add ½ tsp baking powder and ¼ tsp baking soda this is a substitute for yeast
6. Cover up the cooked naan with a kitchen napkin and keep it in the hot pot to make naan hot and fresh for a long time

In a large mixing bowl, add flour, salt, and mix. Mix sugar and yeast in lukewarm milk and water. cover and let it keep aside for 10 minutes until bubbling

          

After 10 minutes, pour the yeast mixture into the flour. Begin to knead the dough. you may need more water or milk than mentioned in the recipe card

               

Keep kneading the dough very well by adding oil until soft and pliable using dough hooks or a stand mixer or with the help of a hand. Whatever is convenient for you. It must be smooth and not sticky. Cover and rest for 30 mins to an hour

            

After 10 minutes, punch the dough to remove excess air from the dough

           

Divide the dough into equal portions

       

Each dough ball's weight should be around 150g. The flour in the rolling area is very light. too much flour will toughen the naans. Place a dough ball and flatten it. 

      

Roll and stretch the dough to an oval/round. Wet the upper naan surface very well with water

                    

Heat a griddle or Tawa. ensure first your pan is hot enough not extremely hot. Gently remove the naan from the counter and place it on the hot pan. and make sure the wet part goes in the bottom. Let it cook for around a minute. naan should be dry from the surface before the turn. Now flip the pan/Tawa upside down

             

And cook naan directly on flame till they turn a golden brown color. Gently scrape the naan from the bottom and remove

          

Prepare all the naan the same way

        

Naan is ready to serve

          

Serve hot with the curry and dal
