Nov 09, 2014, Updated Jun 13, 2023 Are you skeptical? I was, too. But we ordered pizza with friends a while back, and they promised to the moon and back that the Butter Chicken Pizza at this restaurant was amazing, so we went with it – and it was so good! I knew right away I had to recreate it at home. You start by pulling the chicken pieces out of the leftover curry. The curry sauce goes on the dough first, followed by handfuls of mozzarella, then some bell pepper, red onion, and pineapple (again, trust me). You shred up the chicken with two forks, add that, and bake it until gooey and bubbly and golden. But what takes it over the top is this super-spicy, insanely addictive mint chutney to drizzle and dip. Mint, cilantro, ginger, garlic and chile get whizzed in the blender for a vibrant, herbacious complement to balance the richness of the pizza. I made my pizza dough from scratch, but feel free to increase the weeknight-feasibility by using a storebought frozen ball, thawed overnight in the fridge, or even naan bread for individual pizzas. I nestle a bag inside my biggest glass measuring cup to stabilize it and hold it open, then ladle the food in, seal it and label it with a sharpie (because even though I’m sure I’ll be able to tell what it is, I’ll inevitably thaw chili instead of spaghetti sauce). If it’s too hot to put right in the freezer, I cool it quickly by plunging the whole bag into an ice bath. Then I freeze it on top of a baking sheet so that it lies flat, and all my leftover soups, stews, curries, etc. stack neatly without taking up much space. And because the bags have a large surface area, thawing is super-quick – I just pop the bag into a sink of warm water, and it’s defrosted in about 20 minutes.
