Chana Masala Pizza Ingredients
Method
Cooking Instructions
Prepare the Chana Masala
In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add chopped onions and sauté until translucent. Add minced garlic and grated ginger, cooking for another minute.
Add Spices and Chickpeas
Stir in cumin powder, coriander powder, turmeric powder, and garam masala. Cook for about 2 minutes until fragrant. Add the canned chickpeas (drained and rinsed) and tomato puree. Season with salt and cook for 10-15 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the mixture thickens slightly.
Assemble Pizza
Preheat your oven to 220°C (425°F). Roll out the pizza dough on a floured surface to your desired thickness. Transfer to a pizza stone or baking sheet. Spread the chana masala mixture evenly over the dough, leaving a border for the crust.
Add Toppings
Sprinkle the cheese blend over the chana masala. Add drained sweet corn on top.
Bake the Pizza
Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the crust is golden and the cheese is bubbly.
Serve
Remove the pizza from the oven. Drizzle crème fraîche and jalapeño sauce over the top before slicing and serving.
