🥘 Ingredients:

• 🍲• 1 pound pizza dough (store-bought or homemade)
• 🍲• 1/2 cup plain Greek yogurt
• 🍲• 2 tbsp tandoori masala powder
• 🍲• 1 tbsp lemon juice
• 🍲• 1 tsp garlic paste
• 🍲• 1 small red onion, thinly sliced
• 🍲• 1 small red bell pepper, sliced
• 🍲• 1 cup cooked chicken breast, shredded (or paneer for vegetarian option)
• 🍲• 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
• 🍲• Fresh cilantro leaves, for garnish
• 🍲• Olive oil for brushing
• 🍲• Optional: chili flakes for extra heat

👩‍🍳 Instructions:

1. Step 1: Preheat your oven to 475°F (245°C). If using a pizza stone, place it in the oven to heat.
2. Step 2: In a bowl, combine Greek yogurt, tandoori masala powder, lemon juice, and garlic paste to create the marinade.
3. Step 3: Coat the cooked chicken or paneer with the tandoori marinade, ensuring even coverage. Let it sit for at least 10 minutes.
4. Step 4: Roll out the pizza dough on a lightly floured surface to your desired thickness and transfer to a baking sheet or pizza peel.
5. Step 5: Spread a thin layer of the marinade on the dough as a base (or keep some for drizzling later). Top with shredded mozzarella, marinated chicken or paneer, and sliced vegetables.
6. Step 6: Brush the edges of the crust with olive oil for a golden finish. Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the crust is crispy and cheese is bubbly.
7. Step 7: Remove from oven, sprinkle with fresh cilantro, and optional chili flakes. Slice and serve hot.

💡 Pro Tips:

• 🧂• For a richer flavor, brush the crust with melted butter or ghee before baking.
• 🧂• Feel free to add other toppings like sliced tomatoes or red chili slices for extra flavor.
• 🧂• Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 2 days; reheat in a hot oven for best results.
