My tandoori chicken pizzas have a traditional tomato sauce base and mozzarella cheese. The Turkish bread is a good thickness to get a perfect combination of crunch and softness after the pizza has been baked in the oven. The tandoori chicken is easy to make with pre-cooked barbecue chicken pieces, tandoori paste and natural yoghurt. Fresh red pepper slices and red onion add some color and texture. After the tandoori chicken pizza comes out of the oven the real magic happens when you add cilantro, natural yoghurt and some crumbled papadum pieces. My husband laughed at me when I said I was going to put papadum pieces on this pizza the first time I made it but he later admitted he thought they were awesome and added a nice crunch.
I love using Turkish bread for this pizza but you can try it with any pizza base. I actually have a wood fired pizza oven in my backyard and when we go to the effort to fire it up (it takes 3 hours to heat up so it doesn’t happen too regularly!) we make pizza dough from scratch and cook lots of different pizzas, usually for a crowd of people. Tandoori chicken pizza is wonderful on fresh pizza dough and is always seems to be a hit with our guests, I think because it is just a bit different to your standard pizza toppings. To make it that extra bit fancy you may also like to add some mango chutney on top of the pizza after it has finished cooking.
Tandoori chicken pizza makes great leftovers the next day – you can put two pieces together to make a tandoori chicken sandwich! Or why not use leftover tandoori chicken pieces, red pepper and red onion to make a tasty salad – just add tomatoes and fresh salad leaves.
