  1. Sana Hammad, bake naans in a nicely preheated oven and high heat, approximately 230 C. Use more milk than water. And knead a soft dough. Please try the recipe "Garlic Naan" from KhanaPakana. We are sure, you will love it.

  3. Parveen, all purpose flour is called "Maida" in Urdu, so you can definitely use it.

  4. Dear Parveen, In Urdu, Nigella seeds called Kalonji, You may sometimes see these referred to as black onion seeds, but this tiny black seed spice is quite unconnected to the onion and is better known as Nigella or kalonji.
