Sorry to rate this so low, but I had the same problems that Sylvie and Linaray did. It was just too sticky, so I think the dry/wet ingredient ratio is way off. I guess the other reviewers who ranked this highly adjusted the recipe pretty severely, but if anyone follows this recipe AS IS, and even with a few adjustments, you definitely won't get naan. So, I am still looking for that elusive perfect recipe.
