Other Toppings:

  • 1 cup grated mozzarella
  • 1 small red onion, thinly sliced
  • Few mint or coriander (cilantro) leaves (I used mint)

INSTRUCTIONS

  1. Preheat oven to 220C. If you are using pizza stone, place it in the oven.

Pizza Base:

  1. Combine together yeast, sugar and water in a small bowl. Set aside for 5 minutes or until foamy.
  2. Place flour, yogurt, and yeast mixture in a large bowl. Season with salt. Add milk little by little to make sticky dough. Cover, and set aside in a warm place for 30 minutes or 2 hours or until the dough doubles in size.
  3. Turn the dough onto a lightly floured surface. Sprinkle more flour on top. Knead for 3-4 minutes, or until smooth and elastic. Use your hands to shape the pizza into a large circle. Use a fork to prick all over the base.

Butter Chicken:

  1. While making butter chicken, make sure the sauce is really thick. Find the link for the butter chicken right below this recipe. After making butter chicken, take out all the chicken pieces from the sauce, and shred them into bite-sized pieces. Set aside.

Toppings:

  1. Spread the butter chicken sauce all over the base. Top with shredded chicken and then mozzarella.
  2. Transfer pizza onto the stone. Bake for 20-25 minutes.
  3. Remove from oven. Top with red onions and mint leaves.
  4. Serve with mint chutney if you like.
