Steps

  • Cut chicken into 4cm cubes and season with salt and pepper.

  • Preheat a grill to medium-high and thread chicken onto metal skewers.
  • Grill chicken for 10 minutes until cooked through, basting with marinade.

  • Combine yoghurt, milk, salt, sugar, and 200ml water for the dough.
  • Mix sifted flour and baking powder with the liquid and 30ml rapeseed oil to form dough.
  • Knead for 6 minutes and let prove in a warm place for 2 hours.
  • Divide dough into balls, flatten to 1cm thickness, and fill with camembert paste.
  • Cook naans in a dry lidded pan over medium heat for 4 minutes per side.
