First, get the chicken tikka ready.
Season the chicken:
In a bowl, combine garlic paste, salt, black pepper, red chili flakes, ground cumin, chaat masala, tikka masala, orange food coloring, and yogurt. Put the chicken in and make sure it is covered. Allow the chicken to soak in the marinade for at least 30 minutes (or longer for a stronger taste).
Prepare the chicken.
Warm 2 tablespoons of oil in a pan on medium heat. Put the seasoned chicken in the pan and cook it until it is completely cooked and has a little bit of a burnt look, which should take around 8-10 minutes. Put aside.
Step 2: Get the pizza dough ready.
Start the Yeast:
In a little bowl, mix 2 teaspoons of yeast and 2 teaspoons of sugar in warm water. Leave it for 5 to 10 minutes until it becomes frothy.
Prepare the dough:
In a big bowl, mix together regular flour, salt, and an egg. Mix the yeast mixture, oil, milk, and some warm water until you have a soft dough.
Work the dough by kneading it.
Work the dough for around 8-10 minutes until it is soft and stretchy. Place a wet cloth over the dough and leave it in a warm spot for around 1 to 1.5 hours, or until it doubles in size.
Step 3: Put the Pizza Together
Heat the oven before using it.
Heat your oven to 220°C (425°F) before using it.
Prepare the dough:
Press the dough that has risen and split it into two parts (enough for two medium pizzas). Flatten each piece into a pizza shape on a surface with flour. Then, place it on a greased pizza tray or a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
Choose your favorite toppings.
Put pizza sauce on the flattened dough.
Add a lot of mozzarella and cheddar cheese on top.
Spread the cooked chicken tikka, onion, tomato, capsicum, jalapeno, and black olives evenly on top of the cheese.
Add more mozzarella cheese on top.
Cook in the oven.
Cook the pizza in the oven that has been heated beforehand for 12-15 minutes, or until the crust turns golden and the cheese is melted and bubbling.
Add decoration and present:
Take out of the oven, sprinkle with dried oregano, and serve while hot.
Ways to serve.
Offer the Chicken Tikka Pizza with garlic bread or a salad on the side.
Add a bit more olive oil or chili oil for extra taste.
Tips for Cooking:
To add more taste, you can spread garlic butter on the edges of the pizza dough before putting it in the oven.
If you don't have tikka masala, you can create your own by combining garam masala, paprika, cumin, and coriander.

Chicken is a good source of healthy protein.
