Detailed Directions and Instructions
Prepare the Tandoori Chicken
Marinate chicken in a mixture of yogurt, tandoori spices, garlic, ginger, paprika, and lemon juice. Allow it to marinate for at least 30 minutes, preferably overnight for deeper flavor.
Cook the Chicken
Preheat your grill or oven. Cook the marinated chicken until it’s fully cooked and has a nice char. Ensure it reaches an internal temperature of 165°F. Once cooked, let it rest before slicing.
Make the Pizza Dough
In a mixing bowl, combine flour, water, yeast, sugar, and salt. Knead until smooth, then let it rise until it doubles in size.
Prepare the Pizza Sauce
Blend the canned tomatoes with garlic, and spices to create a smooth sauce. Set it aside.
Assemble the Pizza
Roll out the dough to your desired thickness. Spread the pizza sauce on the base, followed by pieces of the grilled tandoori chicken. Top with mozzarella cheese and more tandoori spices if desired.
Bake the Pizza
Preheat the oven to a high temperature (around 475°F). Place the assembled pizza in the oven and bake until the crust is golden and the cheese is bubbly, typically 10-15 minutes.
Make the Cilantro Mint Chutney
In a food processor, blend fresh cilantro, mint, green chilies, lemon juice, and salt until smooth. Adjust the flavor to your preference.
Serve the Pizza
Once baked, remove the pizza from the oven. Drizzle the cilantro mint chutney over the top and slice it into pieces for serving.
Notes
Marinating Time
For best results, marinate the chicken overnight to enhance the flavor.
Substitutions
Feel free to substitute the chicken with grilled vegetables for a vegetarian option.
Storage
Leftover pizza can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days and reheated in the oven.
Chutney Variations
Add yogurt to the cilantro mint chutney for a creamier texture.
