Naan - Indian Flat Bread

Naan is an all-time favorite Indian flat bread.  It is believed by many to be very difficult to prepare at home, but this recipe is fairly easy and does not require an oven or a tandoor, can be prepared on a regular chappati tawa and a skillet with holes at the bottom (see pictures below).  Forgot to take pictures when the naan was prepared using the tawa and skillet.

4 cups refined flour
1/2 tsp baking powder
1/4 tsp baking soda

1 tbsp sugar 
1/2 cup milk
