Instructions
Preparing the Chicken Tikka
- Take the Chicken pieces into a bowl. Put in the Yogurt (curd) + Garam Masala + Kosher Salt.
- Mix thoroughly.
- Take Oil into a Pan and toss the prepared Chicken for 5-8 mins.
- Remove the Chicken and keep it aside.
Preparing the Tomato Sauce
- Heat a pan on a medium flame. Add oil to the pan and let it heat slightly.
- Add the Garam Masala + Ginger + Chilli Flakes + Garlic and saute it for 1 minute.
- Add the pureed Tomato. Mix well and let it saute for 4 mins on a low flame.
- Add the Kosher Salt and Whipped Cream and cook further for a minute.
- Add the Chicken you have put aside and toss well for a minute.
- Your Chicken Tikka topping is ready.
Making the Pizza
- Take a flat & heavy bottomed Pan with a lid.
- Coat the pan with Olive oil. Use a brush to grease the pan well.
- Place the Pizza base in the pan. Make a few pricks on the base with a fork.
- Spread the Chicken Tikka onto the top of Pizza evenly.
- Top it with grated Mozzarella cheese and the Capsicum and other toppings (except Onions).
- Sprinkle a little Olive oil across the edge of the Pan.
- Cover the Pan with a lid and let it bake on a low flame for about 5 minutes or until the cheese is melted.
- Top it now with Onions and let it cook for another 2 - 3 minutes on a low flame.
- Garnish with chopped Coriander after the Pizza is done.
- Use a Spatula to remove the Pizza from the pan and cut it with a knife or a Pizza cutter. Repeat the same with the other 3 Pizza bases. This preparation should be good enough for 4 x 6" Pizzas
Notes
- It is always good to top the Pizza with Onions after half of the cooking is done to prevent the onions from getting burnt.
- Use other toppings as necessary.
- You can arrange grated cheese around the outer edge of the Pizza base and fold the outer edge over the Cheese before cooking. This way, you can get a Cheese Burst Pizza.
- Some nice toppings are Olives, Pineapple chunks, Jalapenos, tomato skins.
- Use a spoon to shred the Chicken after cooking to create a shredded Chicken topping.
- Vegetarians can use paneer chunks instead of Chicken for a Vegetarian Pizza.
