This month I have a few new recipes that take a few extra steps to make. With the news cycle constantly spewing out insane inhumanity it can get very depressing, I can’t imagine the despair the Ukrainian people are going through. amongst all the pain there is so much goodness, generosity, courage and kindness that is so inspirational. Cooking meals that take time feels very cozy in times like this, at least to me. Even though I have plenty on my plate, long hours in the kitchen is not something Im in a mood for, but cooking, feeding are some of the acts i feel comforted and when something makes me sad and depressed I find calm in feeding.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Like I said this recipe is a bit time consuming even though we are not making the pizza dough. We will be making the base tikka masala sauce and toppings from scratch. I promise it will be worth your time. The sauce and toppings if made extra will easily double as next day’s meal. The basic naan recipe has been an Indian household favorite base for pizza and it works really well. Now that we get pretty awesome store-bough ones it makes the whole process that much easy. For the sauce it’s a quick shortcut method for tikka masala. The two toppingsI chose perfectly compliment each other adding a veggie and protein for a balanced meal. Use the same marinade to make tofu tikka for vegan or vegetarian option. Ive made tofu tikka topping several times and it turns out just as delicious. For the cauliflower, finely chop the cauliflower, pan saut\u00e9ed on a skillet for crispy bits and grill the chicken on the same skillet or preheated oven, the marinade adds an amazing bold flavor that takes the pizza over the top. If this is you’re weekly meal prep I highly recommend make extra chicken, it tastes better the next day and is very versatile to use in salads, sandwiches or bowls. <\/p>\n\n\n

Taking the very delicious chicken tikka and piling it high on store bought naan, masala tomato sauce with melted cheese, crispy cauliflower, red onion and cilantro. A simple and delicious midweek meal when you don't have time to make a full pizza. <\/span><\/div>\n
