Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Prepare Marinade: In a medium bowl, combine yogurt, garlic, ginger, lemon juice, paprika, cumin, garam masala, and cayenne pepper. Whisk until smooth and set aside half for the sauce.
  2. Marinate Chicken: Coat chicken thighs thoroughly in remaining marinade. Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, ideally overnight.
  3. Make Sauce: In a small bowl, mix reserved marinade with tomato paste to create a zesty sauce. Set aside.
  4. Grill Chicken: Grill thighs for about 6-7 minutes on each side until fully cooked. Let rest before slicing.
  5. Assemble Pizzas: Spread sauce over naan, layer with grilled chicken, mango, onion, and mozzarella.
  6. Cook Pizzas: Grill or bake assembled pizzas for 10 minutes until cheese is bubbly and naan is crispy.
  7. Garnish and Serve: Remove from heat, top with mint and cilantro, slice, and serve warm.
