    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:

    Note:Sorry I din’t get grilling process pictures as I was on in a hurry to assemble the pizza. 😛

    Combine warm water, egg and butter in a small bowl.

    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.

    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:

    1. .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.

    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.

    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.

    • Restaurant Secret Revealed: Make Restaurant-Style Hot and Sour Soup at Home!

      Learn how to make restaurant-style Hot and Sour Soup with this quick and easy recipe.  It’s easy to adapt to your personal taste preferences, and so delicious!

      Hot and Sour Soup

      Delicious hot and sour soup does not need to be complicated. This Hot and Sour Soup recipe is quick and easy to make, SO tasty and flavorful, and tastes just like the Chinese restaurant version! 

      And today’s recipe is one that I’ve been meaning to share with you on the blog for years, after literally dozens and dozens of you have requested it. (apparently many of you usually opt for the hot and sour soup at your favorite Chinese restaurants and have wanted to learn how to make it!)

      Well, good news, friends! Traditional hot and sour soup is actually incredibly easy to make as well. And the bonus of making it at home is that it’s also incredibly easy to customize to your taste. Like it extra hot? Add in more chili garlic sauce. Like it extra sour? Add in more rice wine vinegar. Like it vegetarian? Make it with tofu. Like the meat version? Just add in some chicken.

      Trust me, this is one of those restaurant recipes that will taste just as good at home. And on chilly winter weeks like this one that we’re having here in Lahore, it’s guaranteed to warm you up in the most delicious of ways.

      Really, traditional hot and sour soup is just a hotter and sour-er version of egg drop soup, with some mushrooms and chicken (or tofu) thrown in. Oh, and bamboo shoots. Although I’m not really a fan of those, so I left them out in the version above (and included instructions in the recipe for how to add them if you’d like).I highly recommend using shiitake mushrooms for this recipe if you want it to taste ultra-authentic. But if you can’t find any, baby bella or white button mushrooms will totally work too.

      Winters’s most favorite mouth watering hot and sour soup, You can serve as appetizer to your guests in special dinner or lunch. Serve very hot to enjoy it’s real taste.

       Hot and Sour Soup with lots of veggies has a wonderful blend of hot and sour flavours, this is the perfect choice for a lazy winter evening. I love hot n sour soup especially if I have one of those really bad sinus or chest colds. Try this Hot and Sour Soup Recipe, and don’t forget your experience with us !!

      Then just follow the instructions and bring everything to a simmer, drizzle in those eggs in a thin stream while stirring the soup (to create those pretty egg ribbons), and add in your cooked chicken (or tofu) and sesame oil and green onions at the end…

      …and serve it up nice and warm, topped with extra green onions for garnish.

      The whole thing usually comes together for me in just about 20-25 minutes, making it the perfect meal to warm you up quickly on a chilly day. I love serving it with my homemade fried rice recipe, or any kind of stir-fry that sounds good. And it always, always hits the spot.

      Stay warm this week, everyone!

    • Spicy & Smoky: Authentic Chicken Karahi Recipe (Restaurant-Style at Home!)

      Chicken Karahi

       Chicken Karahi is a very delicious and easy to make main dish. You can substitute chicken with mutton, and serve with peas pilaf or naan. Give it a try!!

      Chicken Karahi is one of the recipes that is probably available in every restaurant and road side dhaba. Karahi refers to Pakistani style wok which is slightly deeper (compared to Chinese wok) and narrower in diameter with a round bottom and curved handles.
      Since in Karahi ghost no water or stock is used to cook the ghost and rather the mutton cooks in the masala and its own stock, karahi makes sure the meat doesn’t burn and simmers away slowly braising the meat. Having said that, you may as well cook it in a deep bottom pot with a little stock to help you through.

      It is a traditional Pakistani dish which is easy-to-make at home with less oil. In this recipe, chicken nicely is cooked with tomatoes, ginger garlic, green chilli, yogurt and traditionsl Pakistani spices. This simple dish can make your dinner more fantastic.

      Directions:

      Step 1

      Rinse and drained chicken properly and set aside.

      Step 2

      Heat oil in a karahi(pan), add chopped onions and cook it for 2-3 minutes.

      Step 3

      After 2 minutes add ginger,garlic paste and stir fry it.

      Step 4

      Add chicken in it and cook for 10 minutes.

      Step 5

      Then add tomato puree,yogurt,salt and chili powder.

      Step 6

      Cover with lid and continue cooking.

      Step 7

      When the water dries and chicken is tender add the peppercorns,and cook for 2 more minutes.

      Step 8

      Then remove from heat.

      Step 9

      Sprinkle garam masala on it.

      Step 10

      Garnish chicken karahi with julienne ginger,fresh coriander and green chilies. Chicken karahi is ready to serve.

       

      • Serve with naan and mint chutney.

       

      Note:

      If you want creamy mixture, you can also add 2-3 tablespoon fresh cream in the last step and simmer for 1-2 minutes and turn off the stove.
      Adding onion to your desired level, above one is a medium spicy curry.
      Adding peppercorn is optional, but sure it gives nice flavor and taste to the curry.
      For dry masala skip the onion.
      If you want to add more colour to the dish, add one teaspoon of tomato paste with the tomatoes. You may have to play around a bit with the chili heat. I find four to six chilies do the trick, my mommy always adds eight. Perhaps one could start with two for a taste-test.

      To make this Boneless chilli chicken, I have not used ajinimotto (chinese salt), no food color, yet tastes good. The quintessential Chinese chicken can now be savoured in the comfort of your homes with these few simple steps.Give it a try!!
