  • 1 tsp black onion seeds
  • 200 g tomato passata
  • 0.5 tsp garam masala
  • 1 tsp Kasuri methi

  • 1 tsp granulated sweetener
  • 160 g grated mozarella
  • 0.5 red onion - sliced

  • 1 handful of fresh coriander - chopped

Instructions
 

Chicken Tikka

  • Mix the Tikka spice blend and food colouring with a splash of water and yoghurt into a bowl.
  • Add the chopped chicken breast
  • Mix well, cover and leave in the fridge for at least 2 hours but for best results, overnight.
  • When ready to cook the tikka you can either air-fry for 12-14 minutes on 200 ℃ or alternatively you can skewer the chicken and cook under the grill on a high heat until the chicken has a slight char.
  • Chop into smaller chunks, ready for the pizza assembly.

Naan Pizza

  • Mix the self raising flour, greek yoghurt and onion seeds in a bowl until the dough has formed. Cover and leave at room temperature for 30 mins.
  • Tear the dough into two equal pieces and form a ball with your hands.
  • Cover a work surface with flour and then form your pizza base with the tips of your fingers. You can also use a rolling pin but I feel I have more control with my fingers.
  • Pre heat the oven at 180℃ and place the bases on a baking tray and cook for 12 minutes.
  • Create your spiced pizza sauce by mixing the tomato passata with the kasuri methi, garam masala, salt, pepper and sweetener. Slice your onion, pepper and coriander too.
  • Remove from the oven and then firstly add the tomato pizza sauce, then mozzarella cheese then the red onion, pepper and chicken tikka.
  • Put the naan pizza back in the oven on 180℃ for around 12-14 minutes.
  • Garnish with freshly chopped coriander and serve!
