150 g Potatoes (about 3 medium)

Turn the dough out onto a floured work surface and knead for another 3 minutes. Divide the dough into medium to large equal size balls. Cover and let them rest for another 50 mints. Give naan Shape wid help of rolling pin. Make dent wid finger tips... Brush with yogurt and sesame seed mixture.
