Equipment
- 1 Cast Iron Pan
- 1 Oven
Ingredients
- 1 Cup Chicken tikka Masala
- 1 Medium Pizza Dough Ball(250 grams)
- 1 Cup Cheese
- 1 tbsp Finely chopped cilantro
Instructions
- Roll out the pizza dough and press it gently with your hands. Start pressing in the center and slowly move outward, stretching the dough as you go. This helps push the air bubbles toward the edges, giving the crust a nice texture.
- For this recipe, I’ve used a cast iron skillet. Heat the skillet until it’s extremely hot—you should see a bit of smoke rising from the surface. Add about half a tablespoon of oil and ensure the oil spreads evenly.
- Carefully place the stretched pizza dough onto the hot skillet. Cook the bottom of the dough until it turns crispy and you see air bubbles forming. Don’t worry—this is normal. Once the bottom is cooked, remove the dough from the skillet and set it aside.
- Take a scoop of Chicken Tikka Masala sauce and spread it over the pizza dough. Sprinkle shredded mozzarella cheese over the sauce. Break the chicken into small pieces and scatter them across the pizza.Add a final light layer of shredded mozzarella cheese on top to help keep the toppings in place while baking.
- Preheat your oven to 200°C (375°F). Place the prepared pizza in the oven and bake at 190°C for about 12 to 14 minutes, depending on the thickness of your crust. Around the 10-minute mark, check on the pizza to ensure it’s cooked to your preference. Since the bottom of the dough is already cooked, you only need to focus on baking the top until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
- Your Chicken Tikka Masala Pizza is ready! Slice it up and enjoy.
