ingredients
- 4 cups white flour
- 1⁄2 teaspoon baking powder

directions
- Sift the flour, salt, nigella seeds and baking powder into a bowl. Make a well in the centre.
- In another bowl, mix together the sugar, milk, eggs, and half of the oil.
- Add this mixture into the bowl of flour, making sure that you pour into the centre. Now knead well to form a soft dough. You can add a little water while kneading.
- Next, tip in the remaining oil and knead again. Once the oil has been absorbed by the dough, cover it with a damp cloth and let it stand.
- Knead the dough once again after about 20 minutes. Cover it and let it stand for about 3 hours. Preheat the oven at high, about 30 minutes ahead of actually making the naan.
- Make 8 balls out of the dough and leave them aside for a few minutes. Now use your plams to shape each ball of dough into an oval patty.
- Bake the naan bread on higheee until puffed up and golden brown. Serve hot with chicken korma or chicken tikka masala.

Tips:
- Nigella seeds are nothing but seeds of the onion plant and are readily available at Indian stores. They may also be called ‘kalaunji’.
