Ingredients

Naan

  • 3 full sized Naan 8-9 pieces per naan
  • 2 tbsp oil

Toppings

  • 1-1 1/2 cup cooked chana masala leftover or store bought
  • 1 11/2 cup shredded cheese
  • ½ cup tomatoes chopped
  • ¼ cup onions chopped
  • 2 tbsp Cilantro chopped
  • 2 tbsp Scallions chopped
  • 1 jalapeno sliced, optional
  • Yogurt or sour cream
  • Green chutney & Tamarind Chutneys optional
  • Pomegranate optional
  • Guacamole or avocados optional

Instructions

  • Prepare the chana masala or use leftovers/store bought.
  • Prepare the toppings too and set aside
  • Pre heat oven to 400 F.
  • Line two baking sheets with parchment paper and arrange all the naan wedges/pieces on them. Brush them lightly with oil and bake them for 5 minutes until they are slightly crispy.
  • Arrange baked naan pieces in a baking tray or oven safe dish, add half of the chana masala all over it in a way it covers most of the pieces, followed by half of the cheese. Finish with other half and more cheese. Create layers.
  • Return to the oven for another 2-3 minutes, until the cheese is melted. Don’t over bake them.
  • Remove the tray or baking dish, add the toppings- onions, tomatoes, cilantro, scallion, jalapenos, drizzle some of the yogurt, chutneys if you like.
  • You can also add some pomegranate arils.

Notes

  • Make sure the chana masala is not too saucy. They will make everything very soggy. 
  • These do not keep well as leftovers.
