Zesty Indian Sloppy Joe Recipe

My daughter LOVES sloppy joes! She requested them again this week and I decided to switch things up a bit with an Indian twist. The fragrant aromas of cumin, coriander and ginger blend with a tomato base to make a zesty taste sensation. I served these on naan bread – but they would also be delightful on soft small buns. You could even serve it over rice!

Zesty Indian Sloppy Joes are a fragrant twist your taste buds will love. Cumin, coriander and ginger create an flavorful combination, serve on naan bread and top with cilantro!

Scoop the aromatic meat mixture onto your naan bread and top with chopped green onions and cilantro. You might never go back to traditional sloppy joes again!
