Knead the dough again for a few mins and divide into 8 balls. Roll each ball into a 10-in pancake. Pull each pancake gently to give it an oval shape. Cover with damp cloth 20 mins. Heat a griddle until very hot. Mix the remaining 2 tbs butter/oleo with poppy seed. Brush one side of each nan with the mixture and the other side with warm water. Place the warm-water side on the griddle for 1/2 minute. Remove from the griddle and place nan under broiler for about 2 mins. Serve with curries and tandoori dishes. |
