Yield 1 1/2 cups

Number Of Ingredients 17

1 tablespoon fenugreek seeds
1/2 teaspoon onion seeds
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon garam masala
1/2 teaspoon turmeric powder
1/2 teaspoon curry powder
1/2 teaspoon coriander powder
1/2 teaspoon cumin powder
1/4 teaspoon chili powder
1 1/2 teaspoons paprika
4 garlic cloves, peeled and cleaned
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
fresh ginger (1 thumb-sized piece)
2 jalapeno peppers (seeds and all)
1 bunch fresh cilantro (washed, long stems cut off)
1/4 cup lemon juice
1 cup plain yogurt (An unthickened type of yogurt works best)

Steps:

  • Roast the fenugreek and onion seeds first by heating and tossing in a sauté pan for several minutes. Grind them together using a mortar and pestle or spice grinder.
  • In a food processor, blend fenugreek and onion seeds with the salt, garam masala, turmeric, curry powder, coriander powder, cumin, chili powder, paprika, garlic, vegetable oil, ginger, jalapeños, cilantro and lemon juice until all the ingredients become a smooth paste.
  • Spoon the mixture into a large mixing bowl and stir in the yogurt.

Categories     main-dish

Time 16h

Yield 1 pizza

Number Of Ingredients 15

20 rounded cups high-gluten flour
5 ounces slow-rise yeast
1-ounce salt
1 to 2 tablespoons olive oil
8 ounces fresh basil, leaves only
1/4 cup fresh cilantro, leaves only
4 cloves garlic
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
Olive oil, for blending
About 2 cups shredded mozzarella pizza cheese
About 2 cups shredded provolone pizza cheese
2 cups cooked tandoori chicken
1 cup real crabmeat
One 4-inch piece hearts of palm, thinly sliced
1/4 cup finely chopped fresh cilantro leaves

Steps:

  • For the dough: Mix the flour, yeast, salt and 2 cups of body temperature water until well combined, 3 to 4 minutes. Add the Olive Oil and roll it into the dough. Place the dough in a pot, cover loosely with plastic and refrigerate for 8 hours. Remove the dough from the pot and roll into 18-ounce balls, place on a tray and let rise 6 to 8 more hours.
  • For the green sauce: Blend the basil, cilantro, garlic, salt and pepper in a blender, slowly adding enough Olive Oil so the consistency becomes slightly thinner than peanut butter.
  • For the pizza: Preheat the oven to 550 degrees F. Roll and toss 1 ball of dough until it's 18-to-20 inches around. Reserve the remaining dough for another use or for other pizzas. Place the round on a pizza pan and cover with the green sauce; keep any leftovers in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Top with a blend of mozzarella and provolone pizza cheese. Add the tandoori chicken, real crabmeat and hearts of palm. Bake until the crust is golden brown, about 15 minutes. Remove from oven and top with the fresh cilantro.
