Preparation Steps
1
In a large bowl, combine the flour, yeast, sugar, and salt – this will be the base of the dough.
2
Add the yogurt, lukewarm water, and olive oil, then knead into a pliable dough. This will take about 10 minutes if kneading by hand.
3
Cover and let rise in a warm place for about 1 hour, or until the dough has doubled in size.
4
Dice the ripe mango and mix with the chili flakes – this will be the sweet and spicy filling.
5
Divide the risen dough into 6 equal pieces and form them into balls. Roll out into oval shapes on a lightly floured surface.
6
Spoon a portion of the chili mango filling onto one half of the rolled-out naan, then fold the other half over and press down gently to seal.
7
Cook the naans in a hot, non-stick skillet for 1-2 minutes per side, until golden brown spots appear.
8
Immediately brush the hot naans with melted butter – this will make them even more flavorful and shiny.
9
Serve immediately while warm, perhaps with a refreshing drink or fruit yogurt.
10
Tip: If you don't like it too spicy, reduce the amount of chili or use a milder chili.
