For an extra layer of flavor, consider adding a pinch of red pepper flakes to the tomato sauce for a touch of heat. If you don't have tandoori naan, regular naan or even pita bread can be used as a substitute. Feel free to experiment with different cheeses! Provolone, mozzarella, or even a sharp cheddar would all be delicious. Ground beef or turkey can be substituted for lamb if preferred.

Follow The Directions
01
StepPreheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Grease a baking sheet.
02
StepIn a large bowl, combine bread crumbs, garlic powder, paprika, 1/4 teaspoon dried mint, dried basil, and dried parsley. Add ground lamb, egg, onion, garlic, olive oil, salt, and pepper; mix thoroughly until evenly combined. Gently form the seasoned lamb mixture into 1-inch meatballs and arrange in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet. (approximately 5 minutes)
03
StepBake in the preheated oven for 15 minutes. Flip the meatballs carefully and continue baking until cooked through, approximately 10 minutes more. Remove from oven and reduce oven temperature to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). (approximately 25 minutes)
04
StepWhile the meatballs bake, pour tomato sauce into a saucepan over low heat. Add capers, torn fresh basil leaves, 1/4 teaspoon dried mint, salt, and pepper. Cook the sauce, stirring occasionally, until heated through and the flavors have melded together, about 5 to 10 minutes. (approximately 5-10 minutes)
05
StepPlace naan bread on a baking sheet. Generously spoon tomato sauce and meatballs over each naan, then cover with Muenster cheese slices. (approximately 5 minutes)
06
StepBake in the preheated oven until the cheese is beautifully melted and bubbly, 5 to 10 minutes. Serve immediately and enjoy! (approximately 5-10 minutes)
