Roll out naan into 6 inch circles
Spread some of the stuffing on one half of the naan, as evenly as possible leaving a clear 1/2 inch edge along the circumference
Wet the edges with water; fold over and press the edge to get a firm seal
Very gently flatten the centre with a rolling pin to allow the stuffing to get pressed into the dough
Make one or two tiny slits in the centre; brush lightly with margarine and cook under medium hot grill
Turn over, brush with margarine and grill the other side
