Method
 

Preparation Steps
  1. In a medium bowl, combine plain yogurt, tandoori spice mix, minced garlic, grated ginger, lemon juice, hot paprika, cumin, garam masala, and a pinch of cayenne. Stir until smooth and set aside for marinade.
  2. Coat the chicken thighs generously with the marinade. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes (up to 2 hours for more flavor).
  3. Preheat the grill to medium-high heat (about 400°F). Grill chicken thighs for 5-7 minutes per side until charred and cooked to 165°F. Let rest, then slice.
  4. In a small bowl, mix leftover marinade with tomato paste until smooth for a sauce.
  5. Grill naan for 2-3 minutes until crispy. Remove and set aside for assembly.
  6. Spread sauce over naan, top with chicken, mango, red onion, then sprinkle mozzarella cheese.
  7. Return assembled naan pizzas to the grill and cover. Grill for 3-5 minutes until cheese is melted. Watch carefully to avoid burning.
  8. Garnish the pizzas with chopped cilantro and mint. Slice and serve hot.
