Soft, fluffy, and full of bold flavor, this Homemade Garlic Naan is the perfect side to any curry night or grilled dish. Made with simple ingredients and brushed with a buttery garlic topping, this recipe gives you restaurant-style naan right from your own kitchen. Whether you’re serving it with butter chicken, lentil dal, or just dipping it in hummus, this garlic naan takes any meal to the next level.

Unlike store-bought versions, this naan is fresh, pillowy, and slightly chewy — just like you’d find at your favorite Indian restaurant. The dough is made with all-purpose flour, yeast, yogurt, and a touch of oil, giving it a rich yet tender texture. After a short rise, each piece is rolled out and cooked on a hot skillet until beautifully blistered, then brushed with garlic-infused butter and chopped cilantro for that irresistible finishing touch.

One of the best things about homemade naan is how customizable it is. You can make it plain, cheesy, or even stuff it with herbs or potatoes. Plus, it freezes and reheats beautifully, so it’s perfect for meal prepping. If you're searching for an authentic garlic naan recipe, naan with yogurt and yeast, or a quick flatbread to serve with Indian food, this recipe is guaranteed to become a staple in your kitchen.
