This bread/roti is oil free,and  if your choice is to add butter or ghee ,it can  only be done by applying on the roti,not in the process of making it. This naan can be made into various flavours.

Methi naan-(dough made with  dried fenugreek leaves(kasuri methi).

Garlic naan-Chopped garlic can be pressed on each naan while making.

Butter /ghee naan-just apply on the roti after removing from fire.
