Chicken Tikka Pizza Recipe (Page 2 ) | March 12, 2025

Step 1: Prepare the Chicken Tikka
Marinate the Chicken:
In a bowl, mix garlic paste, salt, crushed black pepper, crushed red chili, crushed cumin seeds, chaat masala, tikka masala, orange food color, and yogurt. Add the chicken and coat well. Let the chicken marinate for at least 30 minutes (or longer for deeper flavor).
Cook the Chicken:
Heat 2 tbsp oil in a pan over medium heat. Add the marinated chicken and cook until fully cooked and slightly charred, about 8-10 minutes. Set aside.
Step 2: Prepare the Pizza Dough
Activate the Yeast:
In a small bowl, dissolve 2 tsp yeast and 2 tsp sugar in warm water. Let it sit for 5-10 minutes until frothy.
Mix the Dough:
In a large mixing bowl, combine all-purpose flour, salt, and egg. Add the yeast mixture, oil, milk, and enough warm water to form a soft dough.
Knead the Dough:
Knead the dough for about 8-10 minutes until smooth and elastic. Cover the dough with a damp cloth and let it rise in a warm place for about 1-1.5 hours, or until it doubles in size.
Step 3: Assemble the Pizza
Preheat the Oven:
Preheat your oven to 220°C (425°F).
Roll Out the Dough:
Punch down the risen dough and divide it into two portions (for two medium pizzas). Roll out each portion into a pizza shape on a floured surface and transfer to a greased pizza tray or lined baking sheet.
Add Toppings:
Spread a layer of pizza sauce over the rolled-out dough.
Sprinkle a generous amount of mozzarella and cheddar cheese.
Evenly distribute the cooked chicken tikka, onion, tomato, capsicum, jalapeno, and black olives over the cheese.
Sprinkle additional mozzarella cheese on top.
Bake:
Bake the pizza in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the crust is golden and the cheese is melted and bubbly.
Garnish and Serve:
Remove from the oven, sprinkle with dried oregano leaves, and serve hot.
Serving Suggestions:
Serve the Chicken Tikka Pizza with a side of garlic bread or a fresh salad.
Drizzle with a little extra olive oil or chili oil for added flavor.
Cooking Tips:
For extra flavor, you can brush the edges of the pizza dough with garlic butter before baking.
If you don’t have tikka masala, you can make your own by mixing garam masala, paprika, cumin, and coriander.
