Ingredients
  

  • 1 teaspoon yeast
  • 3 tsp oil
  • ¼ cup butter melted
  • 1 ½ cup all purpose flour
  • ¼ teaspoon sugar
  • ¼ cup cilantro
  • 2-3 jalapeños
  • ½ teaspoon nigella seeds

Instructions
 

  • In a bowl, mix together all-purpose flour with the salt and oil.
  • Mix the instant yeast with the sugar and some warm water in a small bowl. Let it rest for 10 minutes until the yeast bubbles.
  • Combine the two and prepare a sticky dough. Cover it up and let it rest for 30-40 minutes until it proofs.
  • Slice the jalapenos and chop the garlic.
  • In a small bowl, combine the softened butter with the chopped cilantro.
  • Knead the dough for 5 minutes and then divide the dough into individual naan portions.
  • Roll the dough into thick rounds using a rolling pin, sprinkling the toppings on it.
  • Place it on a hot non-stick pan and cook for 1-2 minutes or until you start to see the top of the naan blister. Flip it over and cook it again, or place the naan directly on the open flame of your stove and let it char.
  • Brush some butter on top of the finished naan.

Notes

If your dough is too sticky, it is probably due to extra moisture. Fix this by adding a bit of extra all purpose flour and salt and bring the dough together. 
If you have any leftover bullet naan, you can place it in a casserole at room temperature for up to a day, or in the refrigerator in a Ziploc bag, and it should stay fresh for 2 days. 
You can then reheat the naan in a skillet or a pan over medium heat. 
If you have some extra naan dough, you can refrigerate it in a covered container for up to 2 days, and use the dough to make naans whenever you want to.
