Ingredients

• 4 pieces Mini naan breads or regular naan cut into halves
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 2 pieces Garlic cloves, minced
• 2 cups Tomatoes, diced
• 0.5 cup Red onion, finely chopped
• 0.25 cup Fresh cilantro, chopped
• 2 tablespoons Fresh mint leaves, chopped
• 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
• 1 teaspoon Tandoori spice blend
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
• 0.5 cup Fresh mozzarella, cubed or torn
• 2 tablespoons Balsamic glaze (optional)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Step 2

Brush both sides of each naan with olive oil and lightly sprinkle with tandoori spice blend for added flavor. Place the naan on the prepared baking sheet.

Step 3

Bake the naan in the oven for 8-10 minutes or until slightly crispy but still soft in the center. Remove from the oven and let them cool slightly.

Step 4

While the naan is baking, prepare the toppings. In a medium bowl, combine the diced tomatoes, chopped red onion, cilantro, mint, lemon juice, minced garlic, salt, and black pepper. Mix well and set aside.

Step 5

Cut the baked naan into smaller, bite-sized pieces if desired or leave them whole for larger servings.

Step 6

Spoon the tomato mixture generously over each naan to evenly distribute the topping.

Step 7

Top with cubes or torn pieces of fresh mozzarella, slightly pressing them into the tomato mixture.

Step 8

Drizzle balsamic glaze over the bruschetta for an optional touch of sweetness.

Step 9

Serve immediately as a warm appetizer or snack, and enjoy the fusion of Indian and Italian flavors!
