Sharing my very special recipe of bite sized Cheese stuffed Naan. If you are looking for a quick and simple, no Yeast and no fuss recipe, trust me you have come to the right place.

I have used a few simple ingredients and tricks to achieve spongy, sour and delicious Naan. You can simply serve them with a dip along with drinks as appetizers or you can serve them with your favorite Curry to mop up all the yummy flavor. You can even make delicious Naan pizzas using this very dough. If baby size Naan are not your thing, you can make regular size Naan too. You can serve these Naan plain, or smear them with Ghee or Butter. You can also stuff the Naan with the stuffing of your choice. My favorite stuffings are Paneer, Onion and Potatoes mixed with herbs and spices. In this recipe I’ve used grated Mozzarella cheese (which is my son’s favorite) however you can use any other Cheese of your choice.

The recipe for this very versatile, life changing dough is below for all who would like to try. Do tag me on Instagram @supaintsonplates #supaintsonplates if you make my mini Cheese Naan bites. I would love to hear from you.
