Yogurt-marinated chicken roasted with garam masala and smoked paprika melts into stretchy mozzarella on this fusion favorite. Slivers of green chile and bell pepper bring a gentle heat that pulls every flavor together.

Test kitchen note: Char the marinated chicken under the broiler before it goes on the pizza; those blackened edges carry most of the tandoori flavor.

Method 7 steps

  1. Mix the yogurt, garam masala, paprika, ginger and salt. Toss with the chicken and marinate for at least 20 minutes.

  2. Spread the chicken on a foil-lined tray and broil 8 to 10 minutes, turning once, until charred at the edges and cooked through.

  3. Heat the oven with a pizza stone to 500F.

  4. Stretch the dough into a 13-inch round and spread with the cumin-scented tomato sauce.

  5. Cover with mozzarella, then scatter the chicken, bell pepper strips and sliced chile over the top.

  6. Bake 10 to 12 minutes, until the cheese is molten and spotted brown.

  7. Rest for 2 minutes, sprinkle with cilantro and slice.

That is the whole pie. Enjoy every slice.
