  16. Place one ball on a floured board and use your hands or a rolling pin to flatten it into a small rectangle.

  17. Place a third of the filling on one side of the dough and fold the other side over to seal it inside.

  18. Use your rolling pin to lightly roll the naan into an oval/teardrop/circle shape. Don't worry if some of the filling starts to breakthrough. Just roll gently until you have a naan about ½" (9mm) thick (ensure they will fit in your skillet/griddle).

  23. Cover with foil and keep in a low oven while you prepare the other breads.

  24. Scatter with fresh cilantro/coriander to serve.
