Lamb Meatballs:
1/4 cup Italian-seasoned bread crumbs
1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
1/4 teaspoon ground paprika
1/4 teaspoon dried mint
1/4 teaspoon dried basil
1/4 teaspoon dried parsley
1 pound ground lamb
1 egg
2 tablespoons finely chopped onion
2 cloves garlic, minced
1/2 teaspoon olive oil

1 tablespoon capers
4 leaves fresh basil leaves, torn
1/4 teaspoon dried mint
salt and ground black pepper to taste
Remaining Ingredients:
4 pieces tandoori naan bread

1
Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Grease a baking sheet.
2
Mix bread crumbs, garlic powder, paprika, 1/4 teaspoon mint, dried basil, and parsley together in a large bowl. Add ground lamb, egg, onion, garlic, olive oil, salt, and pepper; mix until evenly distributed. Form ground lamb into 1-inch balls and arrange in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet.

Pour tomato sauce into a saucepan over low heat; add capers, fresh basil, 1/4 teaspoon mint, salt, and pepper. Cook sauce, stirring occasionally, until heated through and flavors have blended, 5 to 10 minutes.
5
Place naan bread on a baking sheet. Spoon tomato sauce and meatballs on the naan; cover with Muenster cheese slices.
6
Bake in the oven until cheese is melted, 5 to 10 minutes.
