- 1 teaspoon minced garlic
- 1⁄2 teaspoon minced jalapeno
- 2 tablespoons tandoori paste

- 1 1⁄2 cups mozzarella cheese, shredded
- 2 tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro
- 1⁄2 cup major grey's chutney
Directions
- Tomato yogurt curry:
- heat garlic in olive oil over medium heat till translucent, 1-2 minutes.
- add next 7 ingredients (through yogurt).
- reduce heat and boil the mixture till all excess liquid has evaporated, about 3 minutes.
- turn off burner and quickly blend in cilantro and butter; set aside.
- Tandoori chicken:
- combine first 5 ingredients (through yogurt).
- coat the chicken breast with the resulting mixture (plastic gloves will keep your hands from turning red).
- pour the butter over the marinating chicken breasts and stir to coat well.
- prepare hot grill; grill the chicken for 5-7 minutes per side (discard marinade).
- remove from the grill and chill.
- slice chilled chicken into 1/8 inch thick slices and set aside in refrigerator.
- To make pizza:
- preheat oven to 425.
- prepare pizza dough.
- use a large spoon to spread 1/4 cup tomato yogurt curry evenly over the surface of the prepared pizza dough within the rim.
- place slices of yellow squash and zucchini over the sauce; do not overlap.
- cover the sauced area with the mozzarella and distribute the sliced tandoori chicken evenly over the cheese (or you can put the chicken on first and top with the cheese - whichever you prefer).
- transfer the pizza to the oven; bake till crust is crisp and golden and the cheese is bubbly at the center, about 10-15 minutes.
- carefully remove the pizza from the oven and sprinkle 1 T chopped fresh cilantro over the top.
- Slice and serve with mango chutney.
