Tandoori Chicken Pizza with Yogurt Drizzle

Author: Flavelo
Recipes Main Courses Quick Meals
Tandoori chicken is iconic: meat marinated in yogurt and spices, roasted in a clay oven (tandoor) at immense heat. A pizza oven works on a similar principle, making this fusion natural. The yogurt marinade tenderizes the meat, while the spices bloom in the heat. Finished with cold yogurt and cilantro, it's a perfect balance of fiery and cooling flavors.

Instructions

1 ✓

Mix Tandoori spice with 1 tbsp yogurt and oil. Coat chicken strips and pan-fry until browned and cooked through.

Tip: Yogurt acidity tenderizes meat fibers, while fat-soluble spices release their aroma.
2 ✓

Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C). Roll out dough and brush lightly with olive oil (or spicy tomato sauce if preferred).

Tip: An oil base gives a crispier result.
3 ✓

Sprinkle with mozzarella, then arrange chicken, thin onion slices, and peppers.

Tip: Slice veggies thin so they cook fast without burning.
4 ✓

Bake for 12-15 minutes until cheese is bubbly and crust is golden.

Tip: Tandoori spices darken quickly in heat; don't let it char to ash.
5 ✓

Make a sauce with remaining yogurt, salt, and lemon juice. Drizzle over hot pizza and top with cilantro.

Tip: The cold yogurt provides the perfect temperature contrast to the spicy heat.

Recipe FAQ

What makes a good Tandoori spice?
A mix of Garam Masala, cumin, coriander, turmeric, chili, and ginger. Store-bought often has food coloring for the red hue, but the flavor is what counts.
Why pre-cook the chicken?
Raw chicken releases a lot of water, which would make the pizza soggy. Grilling it first creates char (flavor) and seals it.
