- Heat a girdle and place the rolled naan with the sesame seeds side facing downwards. Cook it on one side till it puffs slightly.
- Turn and cook it on the other side till it puffs some more. Then, put the naan on the open flame till it turns golden on both sides.
- Repeat the process with the rest of the dough. Brush each naan with ghee or melted butter and serve hot immediately.
