Chicken Tikka Pizza

Pizza with our desi BBQ chicken... yet another famous and most demand-able pizza in our desi famous restaurants... i used:

for pizza dough

all purpose flour 3 cups

yeast 1 tsp

sugar 1 tsp

salt 1 tsp

butter 1 - 2 tbsp (optional)

water for kneading

to cook chicken:

chicken boneless 150 gm (small cubes)

tikka masala 1 -2 tsp ( i used my home made masala - http://morewish.blogspot.com/2012/04/chicken-tikka.html)

garlic minced 1/2 tsp

oil 1 tsp

charcoal to smoke

to assemble:

cooked chicken

pizza sauce

onion cubed

cheddar cheese

mozzarella cheese

red chili flakes to sprinkle

oregano leaves to sprinkle

first make a pizza dough:

mix yeast with 1/4 cup of warm water and keep it aside... after few minutes you will see frothy texture... which means your yeast is perfect and activated and good to use

this is an optional technique to use yeast, but a safest way to save other ingredients and to check on yeast

you can directly add in flour

in mixing bowl with flour add sugar and salt and yeast mixture

and make a soft dough with warm water

cover and keep that dough aside for atleast an hour or till it completely rise

separately make chicken...

heat oil add minced garlic

add chicken cubes and tikka masala

mix and cook till tender... make sure reduce all the water

heat charcoal... and place it on foil on cooked chicken... spray/drop oil over burned charcoal and cover the pot immediately... keep it on side and cool completely

now assembling... cut the onion in cubes

for thin crust... you can easily make two 12 inches pizzas wit the prepared dough... so divide the dough in 2 portions... take one part... roll and put it on greased pizza pan...

i roll on pizza plate with the help of butter/oil... you can use dry flour
