For this pizza, filled with enchanting Indian flavors and aromas, you don't need to knead the dough: use naan bread as a base! Top it with pieces of fried chicken marinated in spiced yogurt, cheese, and red onion, and bake in the oven like a pizza.

1 glass (st.) - 250 ml.
3/4 cup (st.) - 180 ml.
2/3 cup (st.) - 160 ml.
1/2 cup (st.) - 125 ml.
1/3 cup (st.) - 80 ml.
1/4 cup (st.) - 60 ml.
1 tablespoon (tbsp) - 15 ml.
1 teaspoon (tsp) - 5 ml.
1/5 teaspoon (tsp) - 1 ml.

Ingredients for the recipe:


  • 1 cup plain whole milk yogurt
  • 3 tablespoons store-bought tandoori paste or marinade
  • 450 g thin skinless and boneless chicken breasts
  • Half an English cucumber, coarsely grated

Cooking the dish according to the recipe:


  1. Preheat the oven to broil. Line 2 baking sheets with foil. In a medium bowl, combine 1/4 cup yogurt with the tandoori paste. Add the chicken, season with salt and pepper, and mix thoroughly. Set aside for 10 minutes. Combine the grated cucumber in a colander with 1/4 teaspoon of salt; stir to drain.
  2. Brush the flatbreads with oil on one side and sprinkle with garam masala. Place them on one baking sheet and broil until lightly browned, about 2 minutes. Place the chicken on another baking sheet and broil until cooked through, about 8 minutes. Transfer to a cutting board and let cool, then slice.

  3. While the chicken is frying, squeeze the cucumber with your hands to remove excess water. Combine the cucumber with the herbs, lemon juice, the remaining 3/4 cup yogurt, and 1 tablespoon water; season with salt and pepper to taste.
  4. Evenly distribute the chicken, cheese, and red onion among the flatbreads. Broil in the oven until the cheese is golden brown and softened, 1-2 minutes. Drizzle the pizza with cucumber yogurt. Sprinkle with fresh herbs.
