Tandoori Pizza on Whole Wheat Na’an

January 21, 2015 By Aubrie Cornelius

How was everyone’s MLK day? Hopefully relaxing and fun! Stephen and I ended up going to the Hirshhorn and the Museum of Natural History (they have an incredible wildlife photography exhibit right now that is a MUST see!) Museums then went exploring and found a multi-colored church and had a little fun taking goofy photos. Basically, it was what I would call a perfect day.

But, sadly, we are back to normal life and I think that calls for an extra special meal to help ease the transition. And what could be better than some homemade na’an topped with tandoori sauce, grilled tandoori chicken, mango, red onion, cilantro and mozzarella cheese? Nothing. That’s what!

Just looking at those bright colors makes me happy and makes me almost forget that it’s freezing cold outside (almost). Now, this na’an recipe from Half Baked Harvest is definitely the best I’ve ever tried and even though it’s not my own, I had to spread the word because it is THAT good! The only thing I changed was using half whole wheat flour, then brushing the rolled dough with olive oil mixed with 1/2 tsp chili powder and 1 clove of minced garlic. It’s not a big difference but it gives the na’an just a bit more flavor.

But the true winner of this dish is the creamy tandoori sauce that is totally simple to make (only 2 ingredients) but gives these personal pizzas that “oh my gosh this is the most amazing thing I have ever tasted” factor.  Tandoori Pizza on Whole Wheat Na'anOh, and don’t skimp on the mango, onion and cilantro toppings.  Together they solidify this dish as a dinnertime staple. You guys are going to want to put this on your ” recipe repeat” list.

  • 1.5 tbs tsp. tandoori paste
  • 1 bunch fresh cilantro
  • ½ red onion (thinly sliced)
