Hey there, fellow food explorers! I'm Aisha, and I'm absolutely obsessed with fusion cuisine. Today, I'm sharing one of my most cherished creations: Kerala Prawn Curry Pizza. Yes, you read that right! It’s a delicious blend of South Indian flavors and the beloved Italian classic. Picture this: a crispy pizza base topped with a rich, aromatic Kerala prawn curry, then generously sprinkled with mozzarella cheese. It sounds crazy, right? But trust me, it’s a symphony of tastes that will leave you utterly satisfied.

This recipe isn't just about throwing together ingredients; it’s about understanding the balance of flavors, and textures. My friend Priya introduced me to this recipe during a backpacking trip in Kerala, and the experience made it super special. The curry itself is a journey—warm spices, the subtle sweetness of the tomatoes, and the juicy prawns dancing on your tongue. The cheesy, crispy pizza base acts as the perfect vehicle to transport you to paradise with every bite.

🍽 Ingredients

📖 Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 450°F (232°C). If using a pizza stone, place it in the oven while it preheats.
  2. Prepare the Kerala Prawn Curry: In a pan, heat 2 tablespoons of coconut oil. Add 1 tsp mustard seeds, let them splutter, then add 1 finely chopped onion, and sauté until translucent. Add 1 inch ginger, 2-3 green chilies (adjust to your spice preference), and 2 finely chopped tomatoes. Sauté for about 5 minutes.
  3. Add the prawns: Stir in 200g of prawns (cleaned and deveined) and cook until they turn pink and opaque, approx 5 minutes. Add 1 tsp turmeric powder, 1 tsp coriander powder, 1/2 tsp chili powder, 1/2 tsp garam masala, and salt to taste. Stir well and cook for 2 minutes more.
  4. Add the coconut milk: Pour in 100ml coconut milk. Stir gently and simmer for about 3-4 minutes, until sauce has slightly thickened. Remove from heat and set aside.
  5. Prepare the Pizza Base: If using store-bought dough, follow package instructions for handling. If making your own dough, use a standard pizza dough recipe, (about 200g). Roll it out to your desired thickness. I love a nice thin crust, about 1/8 inch thick.
  6. Assemble the Pizza: Spread the Kerala prawn curry evenly over the pizza base, leaving a small border for the crust. Top with grated mozzarella cheese (about 100g) and optional extra cilantro for a fresh touch.
  7. Bake the Pizza: Carefully transfer the pizza to the preheated oven. Bake for 10-15 minutes, or until the base is golden brown and the cheese is melted and bubbly. Keep an eye on it to avoid burning!
  8. Slice and Serve: Once baked, let the pizza cool for a few minutes before slicing and serving. Enjoy the delicious explosion of flavours from this unique pizza creation. It’s quite amazing!

📝 Notes

  • Adjust the amount of chilies according to your preferred spice level.
  • Feel free to add other vegetables like onions or bell peppers to the curry.
  • If you're using a pre-made pizza dough, ensure it's completely thawed before rolling it out.
