Desi Bruschetta
Crispy, full of flavour and easy to eat, Bruschetta is the perfect starter to any meal. This one has an Indian touch.
Ingredients
1 loaf baguette
15 cubes paneer
1 onion
1 tomato
1 tbsp garlic, chopped
2 tbsp coriander leaves, chopped
1 tsp dried oregano
As needed, salt
1 ½ tsp olive oil
1 tsp black pepper powder or chilli flakes
2 tbsp Mozzarella, shredded
Method
-
Pre-heat oven to 180 degree C. Meanwhile, soak the paneer in hot water to make it soft.
-
Cut the paneer in small cubes or shred it, deseed the tomatoes and cut it into cubes, finely chop onion, coriander leaves and garlic.
-
Drizzle olive oil on the chopped vegetables and mix well.
-
Slice the baguette and make sure it is at least ½ inch thick to hold the topping. You can either cut it in simple circles or fancy ovals.
-
Arrange the cut slices in a greased baking tray and spoon the paneer and chopped vegetables. Finish with a little shredded cheese on top.
-
Drizzle a little olive oil again and bake for up to 5 – 8 minutes, or until the tomatoes shrink and a nice aroma wafts.
-
Sprinkle coriander leaves and chilli flakes on top before serving for extra flavour.
