Steps
In a large mixing bowl, combine the whole wheat flour, baking powder, and baking soda.
Add the yoghurt and ghee to the dry ingredients.
Gradually add water and knead into a soft, smooth dough.
Cover the dough and let it rest for a minimum of 1 hour, though 2 to 3 hours is ideal for the best texture.
When ready to cook, preheat a tawa (griddle) over high heat for at least 7 to 8 minutes until it is super hot.
Divide the dough into 5 or 6 medium-sized portions and roll each into a naan shape.
Apply a generous amount of water to the back of the rolled naan; this is essential for the dough to stick to the tawa and cook properly from the bottom.
Place the naan (water-side down) onto the hot tawa. Once bubbles appear, flip the tawa over the direct flame to cook the top side until charred and golden.
Notes
Vishesh Tippani (Special Tips): 1) Resting the dough is very important. Minimum 1 hour, ideal is 3 hours. 2) The Tawa should be SUPER hot. Heat it for at least 7 to 8 minutes. 3) Applying water at the back of the Roti is key for it to stick properly. This will also ensure that it cooks well even from the bottom.
