Method to make Nan dough -Put the yeast, sugar and two tablespoons of warm water in a bowl and stir well. Leave until it begins to froth. Put the flour and salt into a large mixing bowl and whisk to combine. Stir the yoghurt into the yeast mixture, then make a well in the middle of the flour and pour it in, plus the melted ghee. Mix, then gradually stir in the water to make a soft, sticky mixture that is just firm enough to call a dough, but not at all dry. Tip out on a lightly floured surface and knead for about five minutes until smooth and a little less sticky, then put in a large, lightly oiled bowl and turn to coat. Cover and leave in a dry place until doubled in size. Tip the dough back out on to the lightly floured surface and knock the air out. divide into small balls .Flatten one of the balls and or roll it into a flat circle, slightly thicker around the edge. use a round cookie cutter and cut smiles  sized rounds from half of the dough.Spread prepared stuffing in the centre of each round. Roll out the remaining dough and cut with smile cutter of same sized round in equal numbers. Keep smilies cutter rounds over stuffing and seal the edges with fork, thus give shapes of smilies to stuffed nans.keep boiled whole moong in space of eyes and corn kernels for teeth.Grease the tray and arrange smilies on tray.Bake in pre-heated oven on 180 drgree c for 7-10 minutes or till brown.
