– 1 teaspoon sugar
– 1 teaspoon salt
– 2 tablespoons olive oil
– 3/4 cup warm water
For the Afghani Chicken Tikka:
– 1 lb chicken breast, cubed
– 1 cup yogurt
– 2 tablespoons Tikka masala
– 1 tablespoon ginger-garlic paste
– 1 teaspoon cumin powder
– 1 teaspoon coriander powder
– 1/2 teaspoon red chili powder

For the pizza topping:
– 1 cup pizza sauce
– 2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
– 1 small red onion, thinly sliced
– 1 small green bell pepper, thinly sliced

Recipes:
1. To make the pizza dough, combine the flour, yeast, sugar, and salt in a large bowl. Add the olive oil and warm water, and knead the dough until it’s smooth and elastic. Cover the dough and let it rise for about an hour.
2. For the Afghani Chicken Tikka, marinate the chicken cubes in a mixture of yogurt, Tikka masala, ginger-garlic paste, cumin powder, coriander powder, red chili powder, and salt. Let the chicken marinate for at least 30 minutes. Then, heat the vegetable oil in a pan and cook the marinated chicken until it’s fully cooked.
3. Preheat your oven to 475°F. Roll out the pizza dough into a round shape and place it on a pizza pan. Spread the pizza sauce evenly over the dough, then sprinkle half of the shredded mozzarella cheese on top.
4. Arrange the cooked Afghani Chicken Tikka on the pizza, then top it with the sliced red onion and green bell pepper. Sprinkle the remaining mozzarella cheese over the toppings.
5. Bake the pizza in the preheated oven for about 12-15 minutes, or until the crust is golden and the cheese is bubbly and melted. Garnish the pizza with fresh cilantro before serving.
