Crispy naan bread topped with butter chicken sauce, tandoori chicken, and cheese. Indian-pizza fusion.
Store-bought naan works great; garlic naan is even better. Rotisserie chicken is the weeknight secret weapon.
Kids love these - let them build their own. Works with any curry protein: paneer, shrimp, lamb.
