  1. Mix the sieved flour, baking soda, baking powder, beaten egg, sugar and milk. Add enough water to knead into a soft and smooth dough. Cover with a moist cloth, put aside in a warm environment for 10 minutes.

  2. Add melted ghee or oil, knead and punch the dough, cover and put aside to ferment for 2 hours.

  3. Divide the dough into 6 balls, place on a lightly floured surface. Flatten each ball to make a round disc, stretch on one side to form an elongated shape. Refer to photo. 

  4. Place on a greased baking tray. Bake in a preheated oven (175º C / 350º F)  for 2-3 minutes or until light golden.

  5. Serve hot with curry dishes.

  6. Enjoy and relive the good old days when "Marchand Naan" used to travel the streets selling this delightful Indian bread.
