2 cups plain flour (maida)

a pinch of baking powder
1 tbsp soft butter
salt to taste

Combine the plain flour, curds, baking soda, baking powder, butter and salt in a deep bowl, mix well and knead into a semi-stiff dough using enough water cover the dough with a damp muslin cloth and keep aside for 1 hour.
Divide the dough into 8 equal portions.
Press a portion of the dough flat on a rolling board and sprinkle ½ tsp of black sesame seeds over it. Roll out into an oblong of 150 mm. (6") using a little plain flour for rolling.
Heat a non-stick tava (griddle) and place the naan over it with the sesame seeds side facing downwards.
