Indian Pizza – simply Desi

Semi dry, very spicy Mughlai Chicken & Raita like salad. Served atop oven heated Afghani Nan – Cut in a large Pizza like slices.

Very important to have little curry in the chicken preparation (& hence semi dry) – the curry serves as the first layer atop the Nan. Add on top of this layered Nan chicken and raita in 2:1 proportion.

Note, the Nan has to be Afghani Nan since normal Nan will either not be stable or will have to be made too crunchy to keep shape.

This dish goes very well with amber lagers. And since it is October, try the October fest Amber lager by Morgan street brewery.

Thought of the day – This works for any semi dry Indian flavored chicken preparation – the amount of spices U want should to you taste since it will be cut by the raita.

As always – Love is the most important ingredient.
