Chef's Tips

For a spicier kick, add a pinch of red pepper flakes to the butter chicken or the cilantro yogurt.

You can add other toppings like sliced red onions or bell peppers for extra flavor and texture.

If using homemade pizza dough, make sure to let it rise according to the recipe instructions.

For a crispier crust, pre-bake the dough for 5 minutes before adding the toppings.
