AN INDIAN PIZZA? REALLY?
It was the 80s and my teenage self had just landed in Delhi one summer. American fast food had hit India in a big way, and I wanted a pizza. What I got was a crust with Indian toppings — even black-eyed peas. My teen self complained, not realizing that my future adult self would be making these for every game night, including March Madness parties. I even sample it out at events and grocery store demos. It's one of the easiest and most delicious things to make, especially with our jarred Punjabi Masala.
The key with an Indian pizza? Green bell peppers and red onion for the topping and a sprinkle of garam masala. Use paneer cubes as I did in the version above or simply use a bit of mozzarella so you'll get a little melt. For the pizza crust, you can use your own or head to your closest market and buy pre-made. You can even simply top a few naan and throw them into the toaster oven for a quick weeknight meal.
If you want a taste and live in Springfield, IL, head on over to Harvest Market on Saturday, April 5 for its Big Feed event — I'd love to meet you!
