Hi Friends!
As promised, I have a new recipe for you. Indian Pizza.
Basically, it’s awesome. For the crust, I used my favorite Trader Joe’s frozen naan. For the sauce, I used some leftover Curried Sweet Potato Soup. For the recipe I tried to give you quantities to make a much smaller amount of soup! For the toppings, I used curried roasted vegetables, lentils, shrimp and goat cheese. Sound good?
Indian Pizza
Prep Time: 25 min
Cook Time: 5 min
Keywords: bake roast appetizer entree healthy vegetarian goat cheese shrimp vegetables sweet potato Indian
Ingredients (2 personal pizzas)
For the Pizza
- 2 pieces of naan
- 1/2 c curried sweet potato sauce
- 1/2 c lentils, cooked
- 2 cups vegetables, diced (cauliflower, peppers, onion)
- 8-10 medium shrimp, cooked and chopped
- goat cheese, crumbled
For the Sauce
- 1 sweet potato, roughly chopped
- 3/4 c vegetable broth
- 1-2 tsp grated fresh ginger
- 1-2 tsp curry powder
- 1/2 c chopped leeks
Instructions
For the Sauce
1. Add a little EVOO to a pan and saute leeks over medium heat until soft.
2. Add the chopped sweet potato, broth and spices and bring to a boil.
3. Reduce heat and simmer until sweet potatoes are tender.
4. Transfer mixture to a blender or use an immersion blender and blend until smooth.
5. Add more broth if necessary to thin out the sauce and adjust spices to taste.
For the Pizza
1. Toss vegetables lightly in EVOO and season with curry powder. Roast at 400 degrees until desired tenderness is reached. Remove from oven.
2. If using frozen naan, cook at 400 degrees for 5-6 minutes to heat through. Remove from oven.
3. Spread sauce onto naan pieces.
4. Top with lentils.
5. Add roasted vegetables and chopped shrimp.
6. Top with crumbles of goat cheese.
7. Bake for 6-8 minuts until heated through.
So, what do you think? Are your tastebuds up for an adventure?
PS. If you’re a meat eater, tandoori chicken would be AWESOME on this instead of shrimp.

I seriously SERIOUSLY might go to the store this afternoon and get the ingredients for this. Indian pizza sounds RIGHT up my alley. Okay, actually.. Anything with curry is my weakness in life!
Pinning because there is seriously a 99.5% chance I’m going to attempt making this for dinner. I think my family would love it. Well, maybe not my dad… but I’ll make him a personal normal pizza

Yum! I love Indian foods. I’ve been making a similar sweet potato “sauce” but never thought to use leeks. Great flavor pairing – will have to try this out!
Laura @ Sprint 2 the Table recently posted..Healthy Traveling Food (BYOP)
it’s funny. that soup is really the only thing i ever use leeks for. but they’re so good!
It sounds wonderful, and with just a couple changes it can be vegan. I love Indian food!

I love naan… so fluffy and delish. Nice idea to make it into a pizza.
naan is a party in my mouth
I have never had Trader Joe’s NAAN period and I think it is a great idea to use it to make pizzas! Thank you for sharing! I can’t wait to try this new ingredient!

I have a love/hate relationship with Indian food. I love Indian Spice and will incorporate them into my cooking at home but the only time I’ve ever loved Indian food was leftover and when I was intoxicated

This is such a great idea!! Looks delicious
LOVE naan. This could get dangerous REALLY quickly for me. Oh my…spread this with some hummus for hummus pizza and I’m in love.
agreed. hummus and veggies on naan is amazing!
I was so curious about this recipe! I’ve actually only gone out for Indian food once but I did love it!! I love all the spicy vegetables!
Linz @ Itz Linz recently posted..“I WILL” because Matt Long says so
that’s the best part
such good veggies!
When we finally go to the grocery store this month (when I get back this weekend), I’m getting stuff to make this. Mark and I always make 2 separate pizzas, but I think we could go with one with this one.

yay!!!! that’s awesome!
Normally I am plain and simple with my pizza, tomatoes, mozzarella, basil, olive oil and that’s that, but this looks to die for!
Indian is my favorite ethnic cuisine. There is no end to the different flavors, spices, and dishes to try. I have always wanted to make pizza with naan, looks like it’s now’s the time, thanks for the recipe!

Oh my gosh, Lindsay! This look INCREDIBLE! I already pinned it! Trader Joe’s naan is the best, but wow, I can’t wait to make that sauce!
I like Indian food, but I’m a bit of a wimp when it comes to spice so I actually prefer to make my dishes at home.

I love Indian food! And those Trader Joe’s naan–what a creative way to use them, I love this! And sweet potatoes. And curry. Definitely keep this in mind for those nights I was something with lots of flavor–but don’t want to spend a lot of time cooking
Plus I’m hopeless at making real pizza crust, so I love any “cheater” version. Naan is definitely a “must-order” if I get Indian food–as is Chana Palak. Great sauce with lots of spinach and chickpeas. And now I really want to get Indian takeout on my way home for dinner ;D
I LOVE Indian food in general but especially naan bread! The TJ’s one is SO GOOD. This looks delicious!
