I made it yesterday for my family and especially for my brother. He is a true pizza lover. He was sad when it got over and even though he knew there was no more pizza left he was talking about how he felt like having this pizza the next day. He still talks about it. And while writing this post, I wish I had some pizza dough so that I could make this again now.
If you ask me what makes a good pizza, i would definitely say that it is the sauce. I will overlook a ‘meh’ crust if the sauce is good. Yeah, but of course, i would prefer when both the crust and sauce are amazing, but the highlight of a pizza for me is definitely its sauce. And this sauce is just ‘magical perfection’. Talking about the crust, i prefer thin crust pizza over a thick chewy one. And this recipe gives you the perfect crust. The best part is that it is super easy. Hope you guys give this recipe a try and be fall illustrious among your friends and relatives for making finest an admirable Chicken pizza.
So let the fun begin
1st Prepare Chicken Tikka:
Marinate the chicken with the lemon juice, yogurt, ginger garlic paste, roasted cumin powder, garam masala, red chilli powder, tikka masala powder and salt.Marinate for atleast 4 hours ( perferably marinate overnight).
Photo: Chicken Tikka Pizza Marination
Now broil on high for 8-10 minutes, turning over once. Or grill till cooked.
Transfer into a bowl and keep side.
Note:Sorry I din’t get grilling process pictures as I was on in a hurry to assemble the pizza. 😛
Now Make Pizza Dough :
In a large mixing bowl, mix 2 cups flour, yeast, sugar, milk powder and salt.
Combine warm water, egg and butter in a small bowl.
Photo: Pizza Dough Ingredients
Add this in the flour mixture and beat with an electric mixer on High for 3 minutes.
Using a wooden spoon, stir in as much of the remaining flour as you can. or knead with hand.
Turn dough out onto a lightly floured surface. Knead in enough of the remaining flour to make a moderately stiff dough that is smooth and elastic ( 3 to 5 minutes ).
Shape dough into a ball. Place in a lightly greased bowl, turning once to grease dough surface.
Photo: Pizza Dough
Cover bowl and let the dough rise in a warm place until double in size ( 50 to 60 minutes ).
Punch dough down. Turn dough out onto a lightly floured surface.
Cover and let rest for 10 minutes.
To Make Pizza Sauce :
Blend tomato paste, tomato sauce, oregano in a blender.
Heat 1 teaspoon butter in a pan, add garlic paste & fry for 1 minute.
Add blended tomato mixture & paprika.
Cook on medium heat until sauce is thick. Keep aside and let it cool competely.
To Assemble The Pizza
Preheat oven to the highest setting on your oven. Mine goes to 250 C degree.
If you have a pizza stone, place it in the oven. I do not have one, and I use the back of my sheet pan.
You do not have to preheat your sheet pan. Dust your sheet pan.
Roll out your pizza dough.
Drizzle some melted butter on top of your rolled out pizza.
Prick with fork and let it rest for 10 minutes.
Spread pizza sauce over it.
Top generously with the chicken tikka and capsicum.
Sprinkle cheddar cheese and mozzarella cheese.
Sprinkle parsley and oregano on top the pizza.
Bake for 20 minutes or until cheese has melted and crust has cooked.
Sprinkle some extra parsley. Let cool a little. Cut into slices and serve.
Lets go to weekend Programming class with this fabulous pizza. I’m sure my class-fellow’s will enjoy this pizza. 🙂
Recipe Notes:
.FOR PIZZA DOUGH: If you want to store the extra pizza dough for future use, just oil the dough ball all around and put each ball into separate zippered freezer bag. You can freeze this way for about 2-3 days.The day before you plan on using them, just transfer the dough to the refrigerator. And on the day of usage, remove from fridge, place on a floured counter and gently press the ball into 1/2 inch thickness and let rise for 2 hours.
Photo: Pizza Dough
FOR PIZZA CRUST: The crust cooks really fast. Mine actually took just 12 minutes. Do not over cook or your crust will become hard. By the time the cheese melts, the crust will get cooked. Even then just check before taking out.
Photo: Chicken Tikka Pizza Crust
FOR PIZZA SAUCE: This recipe makes about 1-1/2 cups of pizza sauce, I often have a bit leftover for during the week if I want to make bread pizza pinwheels or homemade pizza rolls. Sometimes, I place the extra sauce in sterilized jars and freeze it until i need it next. I just let it thaw in the refrigerator when I know I am going to need it.
FOR TIME SAVING: You wont require much time in the kitchen if you prepare the dough and marinate the chicken the night before. The next day, you will just have to grill the chicken, and thaw the dough for 2 hours and assemble the pizza.

Mix the curry paste, yogurt, chicken and salt together, cover and leave overnight in the fridge to absorb all the delicious flavors.
Step 2
Preheat a conventional oven to 220ºC or a fan-assisted one to 200ºC.
Step 3
Wipe the marinade off the chicken and place, piece by piece, onto a baking tray.
Step 4
Bake for 10 minutes or until slightly charred, but not cooked through.
Step 5
You are just trying to get some colour here because the chicken will finish cooking in the curry sauce.
Step 6
Set the tikka chicken aside while you make the sauce.
Step 7
Heat the curry paste in a saucepan.
Step 8
Add the onion and sweat slowly over a low heat for five to eight minutes or until the onion is translucent and soft.
Step 9
It is important to take the time to do this slowly because the onion will then release its natural sugars, producing a sweeter dish, but be careful not to do this over too high a heat because the curry paste will burn.
Step 10
Add the pasta and coconut milk and bring to the boil.
Step 11
Turn down the heat and add the tikka chicken.
Step 12
Cook over a low heat for five minutes or until the chicken is cooked through.
Step 13
Finish by stirring through the yogurt and coriander.
Step 14
To make the Fragrant Rice:
Add the rice, a pinch of salt and the aromatics to a pan and cover with enough water to come 1cm over the top of the rice.
Step 15
Bring to the boil and simmer for eight minutes, covered.
Step 16
The rice should have absorbed almost all of the water, but still be a bit wet.
Step 17
Remove from the heat and leave to absorb the remaining water for 10 minutes, covered.
Step 18
Remove the cinnamon stick before serving with the curry. Chicken Tikka Masala Rice is ready to serve. Enjoy!
