Swapping It Up: Butter Chicken or Chicken Tikka Masala
Here's a fun twist: if butter chicken isn't your jam or you're just craving a bit of variety, feel free to swap it out for some zesty Chicken Tikka Masala. Both offer an irresistible blend of spices and creaminess that makes Indian cuisine so beloved. Be prepared though, because the Chicken Tikka Masala is definitely for a palette which can handle the spice.
The Recipe
Step 1: Prep Your Pizza Dough
Start by rolling out your pizza dough on a floured surface. Aim for that perfect circle, or embrace the uniqueness of whatever shape the vibes are. Either way, you're in for a treat. Give the edges a little pinch to form a crust that'll hold all that saucy goodness.
Step 2: The Sauce
In a pan or the microwave, heat up your Chef Bombay Butter Chicken (or Chicken Tikka Masala), letting the flavors intensify. Once it's hot and aromatic, spread it evenly over your pizza base. This saucy layer is the soul of your pizza, setting the stage for all the delicious toppings to come.
Step 3: The Toppings
Now, the fun part! Scatter chunks of tender chicken, slices of red onion, and rings of bell pepper over the sauce. A sprinkle of mozzarella ties all the flavors together, ready to melt into stretchy, gooey perfection in the oven.
Step 4: Bake to Perfection
Slide your pizza into a preheated oven at 475°F and watch the magic happen. In about 10-15 minutes, you'll have a golden, bubbling masterpiece ready to capture your heart.
Step 5: The Delicious Result
Once out of the oven, garnish your pizza with fresh cilantro and a drizzle of creamy yogurt for that authentic Indian flair. This final touch adds freshness and zing, perfectly balancing the rich flavors.
Cut yourself a generous slice, and get ready to experience a fusion like no other with the rich flavours instantly bursting in your mouth. The creamy, spicy butter chicken melting with the cheesy, crispy pizza is a match made in culinary heaven.
