Indian Pizza: A Fusion of Bold Flavors and Cheesy Goodness

Indian-style pizza with a rich topping of spiced meat sauce, cheese, and cilantro, on a wooden cutting board.

Indian pizza is like a little slice of heaven that brings the best of two worlds together—classic pizza goodness with bold, aromatic Indian flavors.

Ingredients

  • Pizza Dough (store-bought or homemade)
  • Indian Sauce of Choice (tikka masala, butter chicken, etc.)
  • Mozzarella Cheese (or a mix with cheddar for more flavor)
  • Toppings: Paneer, cooked tandoori chicken, chopped veggies, green chilies
  • Spices: Garam masala, chaat masala, chili powder
  • Fresh Cilantro

Instructions

  1. Preheat the Oven: Get it nice and hot—about 450°F. A pizza stone can work wonders if you have one.
  2. Roll Out the Dough: Spread it out on a baking sheet or pizza stone.
  3. Spread the Sauce: Add a generous layer of your Indian sauce. Don’t go too thin—it’s the heart of the flavor.
  4. Add Cheese: Sprinkle on a solid layer of mozzarella.
  5. Top It Off: Layer your toppings, starting with paneer or chicken and adding veggies and chilies.
  6. Bake: Pop it in the oven for about 12 to 15 minutes, or until the crust is golden and the cheese is bubbly.
  7. Finish with Cilantro and Spices: Sprinkle with chaat masala, fresh cilantro, or even a drizzle of yogurt for a creamy touch.

And boom, you’ve got yourself an Indian pizza masterpiece!

Notes

  • Offer a Variety: Have both vegetarian and non-vegetarian options.
  • Spice It to Taste: Not everyone loves heat, so keep some chilies on the side.
  • Serve with Sides: Pair it with mint chutney, mango lassi, or even samosas.
