  • 1/4 teaspoon fine sea salt
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
  • 2 cloves garlic , minced
  • 1 tablespoon fresh cilantro, finely chopped

Instructions

  • In a food processor or high-speed blender, process the cottage cheese until it reaches a completely smooth consistency.
  • In a medium mixing bowl, combine the blended cottage cheese, self-rising flour, and salt until a shaggy dough forms.
  • Turn the dough onto a lightly floured surface and knead for approximately 2 minutes until smooth and elastic.
  • Divide the dough into 4 equal-sized portions and use a rolling pin to flatten each into a 1/4-inch thick oval.
  • Preheat a cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat and apply a light coating of cooking spray.
  • Place one dough oval onto the hot skillet and cook for 90 to 120 seconds until large bubbles form and the bottom is charred.
  • Flip the naan and cook the second side for an additional 60 to 90 seconds.
  • In a small bowl, whisk together the melted butter, minced garlic, and chopped cilantro.
  • Brush the garlic butter mixture generously over the surface of the hot naan immediately before serving.
