Garlic Butter Topping

  • In a small saucepan, melt the butter over low heat, stirring occasionally to prevent burning.
  • (Alternatively, melt butter in the microwave by placing it in a microwave-safe bowl (like a ramekin) and heating it in 10-second intervals, stirring between each interval until fully melted.)
  • Stir in the minced garlic. (If using a saucepan, cook for 1 minute until fragrant.)
  • Remove from heat and mix in the chopped cilantro (coriander).
  • Brush the warm naan with the garlic butter mixture before serving.
