Ingredients

1 cup Plain Yogurt (Substitute with Greek yogurt for thicker consistency.)

3 cloves Garlic (Fresh or minced can be used interchangeably.)

1 inch Ginger (Fresh ginger provides more intensity over ground.)

2 tablespoons Lemon Juice (Lime juice can be a suitable substitute.)

1 teaspoon Hot Paprika (Use regular paprika for less spice.)

1 teaspoon Cumin (Ground coriander can be an alternative.)

1 teaspoon Garam Masala (Can be homemade or store-bought.)

1/2 teaspoon Cayenne Pepper (Adjust to taste; omit for a milder dish.)

1 pound Boneless Skinless Chicken Thighs (Chicken breasts can be used as a leaner option.)

1 cup Mango (Peach or pineapple can be substituted.)

1 cup Mozzarella (Provolone or feta can provide variations in taste.)

4 pieces Naan Bread (Store-bought or homemade.)

1 medium Red Onion (Soak slices in cold water to mellow flavor.)

1/4 cup Fresh Mint (Feel free to vary according to preference.)

1/4 cup Fresh Cilantro (Feel free to vary according to preference.)

Directions

Preparation

In a bowl, combine yogurt, ginger, garlic, lemon juice, hot paprika, cumin, garam masala, and cayenne pepper until smooth.

Coat the boneless skinless chicken thighs in half of the marinade. Let them sit for at least 30 minutes.

Mix the remaining marinade with tomato paste to create a zesty pizza sauce.

Grill the marinated chicken on medium-high heat until lightly charred and cooked through, about 6-7 minutes per side.

Spread the sauce generously on the naan, then top it with the grilled chicken, scattered mango, red onion, and mozzarella cheese.

Place the assembled naan pizzas on the grill or skillet. Cook until the cheese melts and the edges are crispy, about 5-7 minutes.

Add fresh mint and cilantro on top for a burst of color and flavor just before serving.
