As a multiracial and multicultural family, we love to make fusion recipes. This fusion recipe is super easy to make and beyond delicious. My husband is South Asian and he raved that this pizza was spot on when it came to Chicken Tikka flavor. In his own words, “I, Chicken Tikka Masala’d this pizza-lol”.
