Ah pizza – so simple, tasty and affordable that we often forget the individual components that make it so great. Perhaps you’re more of a topping enthusiast; you love sinking your teeth into a classic slice of pepperoni after a night on the town or glamming it up with some arugula and prosciutto on a date. Or maybe you are a diehard champion of the crust; you swear by Chicago deep dish or thin New York style. As for me, it’s all about the sauce. While there isn’t as much variety in pizza sauce as there is with the other ingredients, I love how its tanginess perfectly balances out the saltiness of the toppings and the sweetness of the crust.

Inspired by my favorite sauce – tikka masala – and wanting to get rid of some leftover naan, in less than twenty minutes I ended up crafting an Indian style pizza out of a take out staple. Viva la sauce!
