Mango 1 Chickpeas | channa 1/2 cup Baguette bread 1 Salt as needed Pepper powder to taste Garlic 1 clove (optional) Mozzarella cheese few

Method:

  • Soak the chickpeas overnight and pressure cook this for 6-7 whistles. Add salt while cooking the chickpeas.
  • Drain the water and keep it aside.
  • Slice the mango and cut them into cubes. Using a sharp knife cut the mango into pixels as shown in the picture.
  • Scoop with a spoon.
  • I used Organic Alphonso mangoes. You can use any variety of mangoes.
  • In a wide bowl add the chickpeas and the cubed mangoes.
  • You can mash a portion of chickpeas, this step is optional.
  • Add the pepper powder, salt and finely chopped garlic.
  • Mix well.
  • The topping is ready.
  • Cut the baguette bread into thick slices.
  • I bought the gardenia baguette bread from fair price shop in Singapore.
  • We can do either microwave or bake the bruschetta bread. I tried both the version, showing here the baking version.
  • Line a baking tray with baking paper.
  • Arrange the sliced bread on the baking tray.
  • Place the chickpeas mango mixture on the bruschetta bread.
  • Add the grated mozzarella cheese on the top.
  • Bake this for 7-10 mins or until the cheese melts.
  • In microwave oven it just took 2 minutes for the cheese to melt in high power.
  • The bread becomes soft if you do in microwave, where as it becomes like proper bruschetta bread when you bake in an oven.
  • Both ways it tasted yum.
  1. You can add some mashed avocado to this mango bruschetta.
  2. I added one small alphonosa mangoes, you can add more mangoes too.
  3. Few mangoes can be mashed with a fork along with chickpeas.
  4. Fresh herbs, oregano or red chili flakes can be added instead of pepper.
  5. Hummus and mangoes can be used for Mango Bruschetta.
