Now turn the pan upside down, so the naan gets exposed to direct flame, this way it will look more like restaurant style naan (0r) You can simply place the naan on wire mesh in direct flame as you make rotis (or) Simply turn over in tawa itself and cook both sides till golden brown.
  • Add Butter on both sides and serve hot.
