Servings: 4-5 small flatbreads or 1-2 big flatbreads

Prep Time: 15-20 minutes

Baking time: 10-15 minutes

Total Time: 30-35 mins

 Ingredients: 

  • 4-5 small flatbreads or 1-2 big flatbreads, I used mini naans

  • 1/2 cup coriander chutney

  • 2-2.5 cups shredded mozzarella cheese

  • 2.5-3 cups roasted corn kernels; I used frozen that is thawed

  • 3/4 cup chopped scallions

  • 1-2 jalapenos/serrano cut into thin slices

Garnish:

  • 1/3-1/2 cup chopped coriander

  • 1/2 cup mayonnaise

  • 2-3 tbsp lime juice

  • 2-3 tbsp water

  • 1/4 tsp salt as per taste

  • 1/2-1 tsp paprika

  • 1/4 tsp cumin powder

  • 1/2 tsp oregano

Directions: 

  1. Preheat the oven or air fryer. The oven should be 380F, and the air fryer should be 360F. Prepare a parchment-lined baking tray.

  2. Place the flatbreads on the tray. Spread a thin layer of coriander chutney all over the flatbread.

  3. Top the flatbread with mozzarella cheese and then with roasted corn kernels, chopped scallions, and serranos.

  4. Bake for 10-12 minutes, rotating the tray midway. The flatbread should be crispy and cheese melted.

  5. While the flatbread is baking, make the aioli. In a bowl, mix mayonnaise, lemon juice, water, paprika, cumin powder, oregano, and salt.

  6. Once the flatbread is out of the oven, drizzle the aioli over it. Sprinkle chopped coriander!

  7. Serve warm & enjoy!

Notes/Tips:

  • Thaw the roasted corn at room temperature.

  • Bake for 2-3 mins before topping it if you like the base crispier.

  • You can make the aioli and keep it in the fridge for 2-3 days.

  • Don’t keep the fresh coriander or scallion.

  • Coriander chutney adds a subtle flavor that adds a lot to this dish, I have linked the recipe I use. You can use your favorite
