Mango chickpeas bruschetta, a kids friendly snack or a party starter using mango and chickpeas. Mangoes are in peak season and i am trying out many new recipes out of fresh Organic mangoes. Mango and chickpeas curry is a popular combo and i wanted to try this out too, but as i planned for mango paneer curry, settled down with this idea of Mango bruschetta. When it comes to mangoes the ideas are limitless and it keeps pouring into me. I have already posted a Bruschetta channa chaat recipe. Read the notes section of the post to find more interesting variations. We all loved this Mango bruschetta and it was a quite filling kids friendly snack too.

Mango chickpeas bruschetta, a kids friendly snack or a party starter using mango and chickpeas.
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.
Notes:
- You can add some mashed avocado to this mango bruschetta.
- I added one small alphonosa mangoes, you can add more mangoes too.
- Few mangoes can be mashed with a fork along with chickpeas.
- Fresh herbs, oregano or red chili flakes can be added instead of pepper.
- Hummus and mangoes can be used for Mango Bruschetta.
