1/2 cup water (approximate)
1 to 2 teaspoon oil

  5. Re-knead dough and divide into eight (8) equal balls.
  6. On a floured surface, roll each ball into 4-in diameter. Place about 2 tablespoon of stuffing mix on the rolled Naan, wrap up and close the all open ends with your hand. Dust lightly with flour and expand out the dough using your fingers. Gently roll out with a rolling pin into a oblong shape about 6 inches in diameter.
