The taste was absolutely amazing and it adds some oomph to regular pizza.

Palak Paneer pizza is so easy, and so are other options too. You can surely make chicken tikka pizza by using left over curry from a restuarant and turning it into a exciting pizza option. Kids maybe more keen to eat this rather than the usual fare.
