1
Warm & Mash the Filling: Heat the TASTY BITE®/MD Channa Masala in a skillet over medium heat for 3 to 4 minutes, stirring occasionally. Lightly crush some of the chickpeas with the back of a spoon or spatula to create a thick, cohesive filling that stays neatly inside the sandwich.
2
Prep the Naan Base: Warm the naan breads in a dry skillet, toaster oven, or microwave for 10–15 seconds until soft and pliable. Lay each flat on a clean work surface and spread each evenly with plain yogurt or garlic sauce.
3
Layer the Fillings: On one half of each naan, layer the fresh baby spinach, thinly sliced tomatoes, shredded cheese, and a generous portion of the warm mashed channa masala. Fold the other half of the naan over to close each sandwich.
4
Grill to Golden & Melty: Lightly brush both outsides of each folded naan with melted butter or olive oil. Cook in a preheated panini press, sandwich press, or large heavy skillet over medium heat for 2 to 3 minutes per side until golden brown, crisp on the outside, and the cheese is fully melted.
5
Garnish & Serve: Cut each warm toastie in half on the diagonal, sprinkle with freshly chopped coriander, and serve immediately alongside fresh lime wedges for squeezing.
