Instructions
 

Pizza crust

  • Dissolve the sugar in hot water and add yeast into the mixture. Mix and set aside for 10 mins till the yeast starts to bloom.
  • Mix the flour and salt. Add the yeast to this mixture and knead slowly to form soft dough.
  • The key to making a great crust is the proper kneading technique. The technique is folding and kneading with the heel of your palm till the dough is smooth and elastic.
  • Apply oil on the dough. Cover with plastic wrap and leave it in a warm place to rise for 45 minutes.

Marination

  • Whisk together yogurt, ginger garlic paste, coriander powder, turmeric, garam masala, red chili powder and lemon juice in a bowl. Cut the chicken thighs into small pieces and add to the above mixture. Cover and let it marinate in the fridge for an hour.

Roasting chicken

  • Heat a skillet over medium heat. Then cook the chicken in batches till each side is golden brown and cooked through.

Sauce

  • Heat oil in a pan, add onion and sauté till golden. Add garlic and cook for few minutes. Transfer it in a food processor and make a fine paste using little water.
  • Add oil in a non-stick pan and cook the onion garlic paste for 5 to 7 minutes. Add tomato puree, fenugreek leaves, black pepper powder and sauté till oil starts separating, Season with salt. Keep aside to cool

Pizza

  • Turn the dough out on a lightly floured surface and stretch to desired thickness. Prick the base with fork to avoid bursting.
  • Evenly spread tomato sauce. Top with roasted chicken, onion, green peppers and mushrooms. Sprinkle cheese over the top.
  • Bake in the oven at 400 F for 20 mins until crust is golden brown.
  • Slice and enjoy.
