​Creamy Greens aka Punjabi saag is readu to be served with corn bread

Ingredients
All purpose unbleached flour 4 cups
Baking Soda 1/2 tsp
Warm Milk 1 cup
Warm water 1/4th cup
Yeast 11/2 Tbs
Greek yogurt 1/2 cup
Honey 2 Tbs
Toppings/garnish
Butter melted 1/4th cup
Fresh minced garlic 4 cloves
Cilantro 5 strands chopped OR
Sesame seeds 2 Tbs mixed with 1/4 cup melted butter
How to 
In a big glass bowl, mix yeast, water and honey together. Let it stand for 10 minutes. Add milk and yogurt. In a separate bowl mix baking soda and flour. Slowly add to the wet ingredients. Gather everything together till all the mixture bind in a form of a big ball. Add some more water slowly if needed. Cover the glass bowl with plastic wrap and put in a warm place  for an hour and a half, so the dough rise double the size.
Trick:  Sometime you cant find a warm place at home. on the top of the plastic wrao cover with a towel and have a space heater in the area where you will keep the bowl but dont let it to be too close to the bowl. Yeast works better when it finds a perfect warm temperature.
Mix toppings in a small bowl and keep it ready to use
Cooking Instructions
Once the dough is ready. Place it on a cutting board surface and cut into 12 equal parts Each in a size of a  tennis ball. Roll on a slightly dusted surface in a shape of an oval. brush both sides with a melted butter. 
Heat a skillet on a medium hot setting. once its hot place an oval dough on the skillet. Brush toppings on the top side. Cover the skillet with a lid and let it cook till you see the bubles are popping up high you can lift the cover and check the bottom iif its is evenly browned but not overly cooked. Turn the naan and cook for aditional two or two minutes with the cover. lift and see if its evenly cooked on the other side.
Enjoy with any kind of kabobs, curries, daals, and or green chutney and if you are like me i would love to have it with my morning tea.

It's about time to set aside my Pakistani cooking soul and switch turkey seasoning to American brining. My Tandoori Turkey has no place on all American side dishes table. Wait that also mean i have to wear an ugly a sweater on thanksgiving? Anyhow I collected all the required seasoning and herbs thanks to Trader Joe's for making my life easy and my mom who had gave me this huge pot long time ago. This pot holds no matter what i cook in large scale Yes it didn't disappoint me this time either.  After giving a good rinse by taking all the unnecessary stuff out i was able to soak her in this heavenly American fluid. one more thing to share tha while rinsing this baby i kept on remembering my Bay gee(grandma) to who was once told if its in her will she will wash meat with soap and water:)
