Indian Pizza


On our most recent trip to Europe, Boyfriend and I had some pretty amazing food. I would say it was some of the best food of my life. We started with authentic Indian food in London, a perfectly roasted chicken in Paris and amazing pizza in Italy. We ate schnitzel in the Alps, wieners at a castle and finished up our trip at a dimly lit restaurant, smiling over plates of curry. It was a crazy twelve days.

Yes, I said twelve days. We travelled through seven countries in seven days. We would have made it eight, but just couldn’t see how to get to Belgium and make our flight home. In honor of this crazy week and a half in Europe I decided to combine two great culinary palettes. Indian plus Italian equals delicious.



Indian Pizza
A Wilde Recipe

Choose your favorite curry because the flavor will command the dish. I’ve fallen for Pensey’s Maharaja curry and use it in all of my curries. This pizza can be put together super quick if you have leftover curry!

2 storebought naan (wheat or white)
Vegetable oil (for cooking)
1 medium yellow onion, halved and thinly sliced
2-inch segment of fresh ginger, cut into matchsticks
½ lb chicken, cut into bite-size cubes.
2 tsp curry powder
1 ½ tsp kosher salt
1/2 cup coconut milk
1 tomato, cored and chopped
1 cup mozzarella cheese, shredded
1 red bell pepper, chopped
½ cup snow peas, chopped
2 tbsp cilantro

Heat vegetable oil in a wide pan over medium heat. Add onion and ginger, cook until onions are softened. Add chicken and curry powder. Cook, turning chicken occasionally, until chicken is browned all over.

Add coconut milk and cover the pan with a lid. Cook for 5-7 minutes, until chicken is cooked through. Remove chicken pieces and add tomato to the pan. Turn up the heat and stir until the sauce thickens.

Heat oven to 350 °F. Place naan on a baking sheet and spoon curry sauce over each piece. Add ½ cup of cheese to each naan and top with chicken, red peppers and snow peas. Sprinkle with cilantro. Bake naan pizzas for 12-15 minutes, or until cheese is all bubbly and crust is crunchy.
