👩‍🍳 Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 220°C (425°F).
  2. Spread a layer of butter chicken gravy (without too much sauce) on the pizza base.
  3. Top with cheese, red onions, bell peppers, and extra chicken pieces.

Step 4: Bake

  1. Bake for 10–12 minutes or until the cheese is bubbly and crust is golden.
  2. Garnish with fresh coriander or mint. Slice and serve hot!

🍽️ Serving Suggestions

  • Serve with mint yogurt dip or chili flakes for extra spice.
  • Pairs perfectly with masala fries or a fizzy lemonade.

📌 Pro Tips for Best Results

  • Use a thin crust for better texture balance with the butter chicken.
  • Don’t overload with sauce to avoid a soggy base.
  • Add paneer cubes or jalapeños for a vegetarian or spicier version.

🧠 FAQs

Yes! Naan makes a great base for a quick butter chicken naan pizza.

Q: Can I make it vegetarian?
Substitute chicken with paneer or tofu.

Q: Can I freeze it?
