Step 1
In a large bowl, combine flour, salt, sugar, and baking powder. Mix well.
Step 2
Add yogurt and oil to the flour mixture. Stir until a shaggy dough forms.
Step 3
Gradually add warm water a little at a time while kneading until a soft, slightly sticky dough forms (about 5-7 minutes).
Step 4
Cover the dough with a damp cloth and let it rest for 30 minutes at room temperature.
Step 5
Divide dough into 4 equal portions and roll each into a smooth ball.
Step 6
On a lightly floured surface, flatten each ball and stretch into an oval shape about 0.25 inch thick.
Step 7
Heat a cast iron skillet or tawa over medium-high heat until very hot (about 2 minutes).
Step 8
Place one naan on the hot skillet and cook for 2-3 minutes until large golden bubbles form on the surface.
Step 9
Flip and cook the other side for another 1-2 minutes until light brown.
Step 10
Repeat with remaining dough balls.
Step 11
Warm ghee in a small pan and stir in minced garlic for about 30 seconds until fragrant.
Step 12
Brush each warm naan generously with garlic ghee and sprinkle with fresh cilantro and nigella seeds if using.
Step 13
Stack the naan on a plate and serve immediately while warm.
