Method

Prepare Butter Chicken

  1. 1

    Cook the Chicken

    In a skillet, melt 2 tablespoons of butter over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and sauté until translucent. Then, add the minced garlic and grated ginger, cooking for an additional minute.

  2. 2

    Add the Chicken and Spices

    Cut the chicken breast into bite-sized pieces and add them to the skillet. Sprinkle in garam masala, cumin, and salt. Cook until the chicken is no longer pink.

  3. 3

    Make the Sauce

    Stir in the tomato puree and heavy cream, mixing well. Allow the mixture to simmer for about 10 minutes until the sauce thickens and the chicken is cooked through. Stir in chopped cilantro before removing from heat.

Prepare White Sauce

  1. 4

    Make the Roux

    In a saucepan, melt 2 tablespoons of butter over medium heat. Whisk in the all-purpose flour and cook for 1-2 minutes until golden.

  2. 5

    Add Milk

    Gradually whisk in the milk, ensuring there are no lumps. Cook until the sauce thickens, about 5 minutes.

  3. 6

    Finish the Sauce

    Stir in grated Parmesan cheese, garlic powder, and salt to taste. Remove from heat and set aside.

Assemble Pizza

    Preheat Oven

    Preheat your oven to 220°C (425°F).

    Layer the Naan

    Place the naan bread on a baking sheet. Spread a layer of the butter chicken evenly over each piece.

  3. 9

    Add White Sauce

    Drizzle the prepared white sauce over the butter chicken.

  4. 10

    Top with Mozzarella

    Sprinkle shredded mozzarella cheese on top of the pizza.
