If you are a big fan of street food, then you might have heard about Chur chur naan. It is a delicious and mouth-watering dish that originated in India and has been popularised all over the world due to its unique taste and texture. Naan is basically a type of leavened oven-baked flatbread that you can find in every Indian household and restaurant. The stuffing is made by combining cooked paneer, potatoes, onions, green chilies, coriander, and spices. The dough is then rolled out into a thin sheet, and the stuffing is spread over it. The naan is then rolled up and sealed, and it is cooked on a hot tawa or griddle until it is golden brown.

With a platter of Amritsari Chole or any other meal, it is a popular Indian bread that pairs well. People adore its crispy outside, soft, flaky interior, and fluffy middle. Chur chur naan is a filled naan with a lot of ghee and a flaky, thick texture that makes it hard to only consume just one. Unlike other naan bread recipes which require a side dish, but this comes with spicy stuffing. Here is an easy recipe for chur chur naan, take a look:

How To Make Chur Chur Naan:

Chur Chur Naan

1. Combine the baking powder, salt, and white flour. Add milk and water after thoroughly combining them. Mix thoroughly to get a dough that is wet.

2. Spread ghee on top, flatten the dough firmly, and wrap it in a damp cotton towel. Give it around 30 minutes to relax.

3. Now it's time to prepare the stuffing of the chur chur naan. Put all of the ingredients, including the paneer, the spices, and the seeds, in a bowl and add some butter.

4. Apply ghee to the dough and spread it with your own hands. To create many layers, begin to fold the roll in half from both sides. For a flakier texture, press and fold the mixture at least 6-7 times.

5. Following a resting period, split the dough into 12 equal pieces. Each piece of dough should be rolled out into a 6-inch round. Now stuff the round dough bits with the filling. Now distribute it over dry flour after giving it a good fold.

6. Put a tawa on a low flame to heat it. Place the naan on the tawa after adding half a tablespoon of ghee on it. Slowly cook the naan for 3 to 4 minutes over a low temperature. On top, add extra ghee. On a low burner, it becomes crisp while cooking.

7.When the naan is done cooking, place them on a platter, gently smash with both hands and serve with your favourite dish, some pickles and raita.
