Indian Pizza

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?

PS. If you’re a meat eater, tandoori chicken would be AWESOME on this instead of shrimp.

  1. 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 😉

  5. 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!

  13. 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!

  20. Oh goodness. I need to make this! I love that you used that curry soup for the sauce!! Now I need to find naan asap! Indian is one of my favorite cuisines of all time!

  21. 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.

  23. I’m not a big Indian food fan, love spice and spicy but don’t really care for curry, buttt I can’t refuse pizza 😛

    I need to make a TJ’s run and wanna try the naan- how do you defrost it?!

  29. 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
