Method

Heat the oil in a lidded frying pan over a medium heat. Add the onions and cook for 8-10 mins until golden. Add the garlic and ginger. Cook for 2 mins, then add the tomato purée and spices; season. Cover and cook for 10 mins.
Stir the chicken into the onion mix, then re-cover and cook for 7-8 mins until the chicken is cooked through. Uncover, increase the heat to high and cook for 2 mins or until the liquid has evaporated. Set aside to cool.
Meanwhile, mix the flour, baking powder, yogurt and salt in a large bowl. Gradually pour in 125ml water, stirring, until the mix comes together. You may not need all the water. Knead for 2 mins on a clean surface, then cover with clingfilm and set aside for 15 mins. Preheat the grill to medium.
Divide the dough into 16 equal pieces. On a lightly floured surface, roll each piece into a 12cm circle. Put one-eighth of the chicken filling in the centre of a circle, leaving a 2cm border, then lay a second circle on top. Use your fingers to flatten down the top slightly, then pinch all around the edges to seal, turning it up as you go. Transfer to a large baking tray, then repeat with the remaining dough and filling.
Grill the naans for 2 mins, then turn over and cook for a further 1 min until cooked and golden on both sides. Remove from the grill and brush the naans with the melted butter while still hot. Serve with tomato chutney for dipping, if you like.
