This recipe is made in such way to mimic tandoor effect on a stove top. If you don't have gas stove top use grill or oven. If using grill use a skillet instead of driect grill gates as naan can tend to stick it to it.
If you are using oven, pre-heat oven to 500F and cook the naan in baking sheet for 4-5 minutes. Finally broil for 10 sec just to get charred top. Watch carefully for this timing.
