Tandoori Chicken Pizza


Two days back my friend Shaz  (The girl who calls me most regarding my recipes and other recipes) called me and asked how I make Tandoori pizza. I told her soon I will post it on my blog, so Shaz here it is.

Pizza Dough Ingredients:
21/2 cups all-purpose flour, extra for dusting
1 cup warm water
1 tbsp sugar
1/2 tsp salt
1 tsp yeast
1/3 cup vegetable oil
Method:
In a tall glass add sugar, mix ½ cup warm water and sprinkle the yeast and let the yeast to foam and bubble about 15minutes. In a large bowl, mix 21/2 cups flour and salt.  Add the oil and rub the oil in to the flour. Add the yeast mixture & the remaining 1/2 cup of warm water. Mix the dough. Put the dough on a clean work space  Knead the dough, continue kneading for approx 5 minutes. Knead until dough is smooth. Lightly oil your bowl, oil the dough in the bowl. Turn it over, pat it down. Cover with plastic and keep in a warm place to double the size or 1 hour.

Pizza filling
Ingredients A (pizza sauce)
Small onion (chopped)
2 cloves garlic grated
Chilly (githeyo mirus)
½ cup pizza sauce
1/3 cup tomato sauce
1tbs tandoori masala powder
2tbs olive oil or vegetable oil
Ingredients B (Tandoori chicken marinate)
1 chicken breast (sliced in to thin strips)
3 tbs tandoori masala
1tbs garam masala
1tsp garlic & ginger paste
1/2tsp salt
1 lime juice
Few drops of red food color (I used wilton red)
Ingredients C
½ cup sliced mushroom
2 tomatoes, sliced
Tandoori chicken (Ingredient B)
Mozzarella cheese
Method:
Mix all the ingredients in B and leave over night or 3 hours to marinate in the fridge. In a baking pan arrange the marinated chicken pieces and bake at 190C oven until chicken is cooked about 45 minutes.
Make sauce:- (ingredients C ) In a sauce pan heat oil, add onion, garlic and chilly sauté until onions are slightly brown. Into this add tomato sauce, pizza sauce and tandoori masala. Cook for two minutes and season with salt. Set aside.
To make the Pizza.. take half of the dough and roll out in to a very thin base (when baking it will puff), bake in  a 170C oven until back of the pizza base gets slightly brown, now flip the pizza base upside down, spread a generous amount of pizza sauce, arrange vegetables, sprinkle the tandoori chicken pieces evenly, on this shave mozzarella cheese a lot.

Bake in oven until cheese is melted and the sides of pizza get slightly brown. Serve Hot............................... Enjoy!

Note: Just use your favorite vegetables and below is a pic of pizza sauce & tandoori masala I used in this recipe. I bought the pizza sauce from a nearby local shop and tandoori masala from Lily F & B but I think it's available at other store's too.
