  2. In a mixing bowl, combine yogurt, garlic paste, green chili paste, red chili flakes, salt, garam masala, black pepper, and white pepper.
    Mix well to form a smooth marinade. Add the chickencubes to the marinade and mix until evenly coated.

  3. Add vinegar or lemon juice, mix once more, cover the bowl, and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to marinate.
    Mix all the ingredients once the marination is completed. Next, fry the marinated chicken.

Pan-Bake the Pizza (Without Oven)
  1. Bake the pizza in a heavy-bottom pan over low heat. If using a light pan, you can place a tawa underneath while baking for heat control.

Notes

• For detailed instructions on preparing the dough, refer to my Homemade Pizza Dough Recipe.
• For shaping, pricking, and edge techniques, see the Homemade Pizza Crust Recipe before assembling this pizza.
• Make the pizza base a little bit thinner than you desire, as it will slightly shrink and puff up during baking.
