Justin's Junior Chef Bloggette - Tandoori Naan Pizza

I love pizza.  This is a kind of pizza I can make myself, except I need my Mom's help to put it in and take it out of the oven.  If a 10 year old can make this pizza, trust me, you can too!  My Mom likes to make Naan pizzas to make quick diners during the week that use left overs.

Naan is an East-Indian flat bread that is kind of like pita, but not really.  Naan is cooked in a special oven called a Tandoor, which is a big clay oven.

The other kinds of Naan pizzas we make use things like pepperoni, Chorizo sausage, left over steak - basically anything you'd put on a regular pizza you make or order.  We do a Greek one too that uses feta cheese, red onions and black olives (blech - but my Mom likes them).

Here's what you need:

Tandoori Naan Pizza
(Serves 2)

2 pieces fresh Naan bread
1/2 cup canned pizza sauce or left over tomato sauce
1 tablespoon Tandoori seasoning or paste
1/2 cup left over chicken
1 1/2 cups grated cheese (more if you like a really cheesy pizza)
1 roasted red pepper, sliced into strips
1/4 cup cilantro, chopped

Directions:

Preheat oven to 400 degrees.

Mix pizza sauce and Tandoori spice and set aside.  Place Naan breads on a baking sheet.  Put 3 tablespoons of sauce on each Naan bread and spread it around using a spoon or brush.

Sprinkle half of the cheese on each pizza. Sprinkle half the chicken on each pizza.  Add strips of roasted red pepper and sprinkle with cilantro.  Bake in oven for about 15 minutes or until cheese is melty and brown on top.
