Recipe (How to Make):

8. Seal the edges and roll into oblong shape to any other shape whichever you like.
9. Grease a pressure cooker very lightly with oil. Take out the lid from the pressure cooker and heat it upside down.
10. Take each naan, apply a little water on one side and stick the wet side around the inside of the pressure cooker till brown spots appear.
11. Continue the same procedure for the remaining naans. (One at a time you can apply 3 to 4 naans inside the walls of a pressure cooker).
12. Take out and apply butter.
13. Ready to serve.
