- Preheat oven to 400u0b0F. In a food processor, combine 1/2 cup cilantro, 1 cup mint leaves, 1 jalapeno pepper, 1/2 teaspoon cumin, 1/2 of the chopped onion, and 1 tablespoon lime juice until completely combined. Thin with water until thick but pourable. Season with salt to taste. Set aside.
- Cut the naan into triangular pieces and place on a baking sheet. Brush both sides with oil and sprinkle with salt. Bake until golden, about 8 minutes, flipping once halfway through. Keep the oven on but remove the naan chips from the oven and set aside.

Add the ground lamb, 1 teaspoon garam masala, 1 teaspoon cumin, 1 teaspoon ground coriander, remaining 1/2 teaspoon paprika, and salt and pepper to taste. Cook, stirring, until cooked through and set aside.
- Mix the remaining mango mixture with remaining 1/4 cup cilantro (chopped), remaining tablespoon lime juice, and 1 tablespoon rice wine vinegar.
