seeds and coriander leaves or any topping of your choice and gently press them using rolling pin.
Flip the naan and sprinkle little water and gently place it on the heated iron tawa. Remember to put the water
side down.
When you see bubbles forming on the surface of naan in few seconds time, increase the heat to high and lift
the tawa and turn it down so that the surface of naan is directly exposed to the flame. While keeping the
flame on high, move the tawa so that naan is cooked evenly and dark spots starts to appear.
Well, Whole Wheat Naan is ready to serve. Apply butter or ghee and serve hot with any Curry of your choice.
