Add tomato sauce and cilantro. Mix and cook for another 2 minutes. Remove from heat and let it cool completely.
**Making the Dough:**
In a large mixing bowl, combine warm water, sugar, and yeast. Let it rest for 10 minutes until bubbly.
Add flour, yogurt, olive oil, and salt to the bowl. Mix until the dough comes together.
Knead the dough for 1 minute and let it rise in a warm place for about 1 to 1.5 hours.
Meanwhile, prepare the garlic butter by mixing melted butter, minced garlic, salt, and cilantro in a bowl.
**Assembling and Cooking:**
Divide the dough into 7 to 8 portions. Flatten each portion and add 3 to 4 tablespoons of meat filling in the center.
Seal the edges tightly and roll out the dough thinly.
Cook each naan in a hot skillet for 2 to 3 minutes on each side until golden brown.
Brush the naan with garlic cilantro butter and enjoy warm!
