Tandoori Chicken Pizza

Author: Flavelo
Recipes Main Courses Quick Meals
Tandoori chicken is an iconic Indian dish: meat marinated in yogurt and spices baked in a clay oven (tandoor) at intense heat. A pizza oven works on a similar principle, so the fusion makes perfect sense. The acidity of the yogurt tenderises the meat, while the spices 'bloom' in the hot oven. Finally, cold yogurt and fresh coriander refresh the fiery flavours.

Instructions

1 ✓

Mix the tandoori spice with 1 tablespoon of yogurt and oil. Coat the chicken strips in it, and fry them in a pan until cooked and browned.

Tip: The acidity of the yogurt breaks down meat fibres making it tender, while spices dissolve in fat to release their aroma.
2 ✓

Preheat the oven to 220°C. Roll out the dough, brush thinly with olive oil (or spicy tomato sauce if you prefer it saucier).

Tip: An oil base gives a crispier result than sauce.
3 ✓

Sprinkle with mozzarella, then distribute the pre-cooked chicken, thinly sliced onion, and peppers on top.

Tip: Slice vegetables thinly so they soften during the short baking time but don't burn.
4 ✓

Bake for 12-15 minutes until the cheese is runny and the dough is golden brown.

Tip: Tandoori spice tends to blacken at high heat, which is normal, but don't char it completely.
5 ✓

Meanwhile, make a dressing from the remaining yogurt, a little salt, and lemon juice. After baking, drizzle over the hot pizza and sprinkle with fresh coriander.

Tip: The contrast of cold yogurt with spicy, hot meat gives the perfect taste experience.

Recipe FAQ

What makes a good tandoori spice?
A mix of Garam masala, cumin, coriander, turmeric, chilli, and ginger. Store-bought often has food colouring for the red colour, but the flavour is what matters.
Why pre-cook the chicken?
Raw chicken would release a lot of water onto the pizza, making it soggy. Grilling adds char marks to the meat, which means extra flavour.
