Chicken Tikka Masala Pizza

I make another batch of the pizza dough with the recipe from my previous blog post, and with a 9-inch Pizza Pan, I bake this Chicken Tikka Masala Pizza for breakfast.  Another portion of the dough I place it in the freezer.

Ingredients:

Chicken Tikka Masala Topping

200 g. chicken breast (skinless and boneless) - cut into 1/2" cubes

3/4 tbsp. unsalted butter

2 cloves garlic (peeled and finely chopped)

Salt to taste

Corn oil for brushing (pizza pan and dough)

1/2 small onion (peeled and thinly sliced)

1/2 cup mozzarella cheese

Coriander leaves - for garnish

Marinade:

1/4 tsp. ground cumin

1/4 tsp. ground cayenne pepper

1/4 tsp. ground garam masala

1/4 tsp. minced fresh ginger

Dash of chicken stock granules

Dash of ground black pepper

1 tbsp. plain yogurt

Small pinch of ground cinnamon

Tomato Sauce: (mix in a small bowl)

80 g. tomato sauce

1 tbsp. plain yogurt

2 tbsp. milk

Spice Mix: (mix in a small bowl)

1/4 tsp. ground cumin

1/4 tsp. ground paprika

1/4 tsp. garam masala

Methods:

1. In a bowl, marinade the chicken with the marinade ingredients for at least 1 hour in the refrigerator.
2. Stir fry the marinated chicken until it is cooked, remove into a bowl and discard the juice, if any.
3. Heat a small saucepan and melt the butter.  Saute the garlic until aromatic.  Pour in the Spice Mix and saute until fragrant.  Add in the tomato sauce mixture and stir well to mix.  Add salt to taste and continue to simmer until the sauce slightly thickens.  Turn off the heat and add the chicken meat into the sauce and mix well.  Dish into a bowl and set aside.
4. Preheat oven to 230 degree Celsius.  
5. Brush the pizza pan lightly with corn oil.
6. Place the pizza dough onto the pan, press to stretch it to cover the whole pan.  Brush lightly with corn oil.  Spread the sauce/gravy on the pizza crust.  Sprinkle half of the cheese over the crust.  Arrange the chicken on top.  Top with sliced onions and remaining cheese.
7. Reduce temperature to 200 degree Celsius.  Bake the pizza for 8-10 minutes.  
8. Remove the pizza from the pan when it is done, and garnish with chopped coriander leaves.
9. Breakfast is serve...
