Ingredients

To make the Tandoori Chicken and sauce

  • 2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts diced
  • 10 ounces plain yogurt (300 ml)
  • 2 cm fresh ginger finely diced
  • 4 garlic cloves finely chopped
  • 1 tsp garam masala
  • 1 tspn ground cumin
  • ½ tspn red chilli
  • ¼ tspn turmeric
  • 17 ounces passata (500ml)

To build the pizza

  • 2 plain naan breads
  • 1 red onion finely sliced
  • 1 red pepper finely sliced
  • grated mozerella

Instructions

  • In a bowl, mix together the yogurt, ginger, garlic and spices.  Add in the chicken and mix well.  Cover and refrigerate for at least one hour
  • Pre heat the oven to 180ºc
  • When ready, spread the chicken on a baking sheet and cook for around 30mins until the tandoori chicken has browned. Place to one side and keep the oven on.
  • Bring the passata to the boil and then simmer for 15 minutes.  Add the chicken and stir well.  Take off the heat
  • Place two naan breads on a baking sheet, and spoon over the passata and tandoori sauce and spread over the naans, leaving a space at the edges.  Then, equally spoon the chicken over.  Add the sliced onions and red pepper and sprinkle over some mozzarella 
  • Place the naan bread pizzas into the oven for around 15minutes until crisp and golden brown.  Serve with some fresh coriander.

Notes

  • Marinade the chicken for at least one hour, and up to six.
  • Use organic / free run chicken that hasn't been raised on antibiotics.
  • Bake the pizzas in a preheated oven for the best results.
  • Keep any leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 2 days and reheat in the oven.
