Chapati Red Curry Pizza
(India, Thailand, Italy Fusion Cuisine. A hybrid of different cultures with powerful flavors)
**Easy Difficulty**
Serves 2 to 4
4 Frozen Chapati (Flat Bread eaten often in India. Found in Asian Grocery Store)
1 cup of your favorite Marinara Sauce
1 ½ tsp Thai Red Curry Paste
½ cup Pepperoni, minced
1 tsp dried Basil
1 tsp dried Oregano
Enough Mozzarella and Parmesan Cheese to your preference for 4 Chapati sized Pizzas
Pinch of fresh minced Parsley and a drizzle of Sriratcha (optional) for garnish
1) Heat pan on medium to high and place the frozen Chapati on pan to cook. Approx 1 to 2 min per side, or until Chapati is nice and fluffy. Slight charring may occur. Remove and set aside.
2) Reduce pan to medium heat if not already set at Medium, and add in the Red Curry Paste, Basil, Oregano, and minced Pepperoni. Heat until Curry Paste is cooked (approx 2 min).
3) Reduce heat to low, add in Marinara Sauce, and let simmer for 2 min; stirring occasionally.
4) Set cooked Chapati breads on oven tray and spoon a layer of Red Curry Marinara onto each Chapati bread, and cover in as much Mozzarella and Parmesan Cheese as you prefer. Place Chapati Pizzas into the oven set at 350 degree F. Cook in Oven until cheese is melted and gooey (approx 3 to 5 min).
5) When ready, place on plate, garnish with a sprinkle of minced parsley. If you'd like this dish to be spicier, drizzle on some Sriratcha. Enjoy!
Extra Info: You could use Naan, Roti, or Paratha, if you like, instead of Chapati. I just prefer the fluffiness, flakiness, and flavor of Chapati. They are all very similar with subtle differences. Use what you can find in your Asian Grocery Store, and experiment a bit if you don’t know which you prefer!
You can find the Thai Red Curry paste with other Thai Curries in your local Asian Grocery Store. They are sold in small cans very similar to tuna cans. You only need a little bit from the can so freeze the left over Paste to use for another dish in the future.
You’d be surprised at how just adding a teaspoon and a half of Red Curry to your soups, sauces, and marinades gives it a subtle taste of South East Asian cuisine. You can put the left over Curry Paste in a ziplock bag, flatten it out, and freeze it. Then just break off a piece from the frozen sheet to add to any dish for some exotic flavor.
p.s. The fancy cocktail in the picture is really just a simple lemonade made with Gatorade instead of water. A dash of Grenadine, and pinch of minced mint for style. No alcohol this time! Happy Eating!

Yes. It is spicy. Red Curry is a nice complex spice though. The paste I use comes from a can. My favorite brand is from “Maesri” It’s a big producer of Thai Curries you can get at your local Asian Market. On the pallet, its spicy, savory, sweet, and a bit bitter depending on which vegetables you use. A good bitter taste, though. Earthy, and full. Common Red Curries are made up of Chillies, Garlic, Kaffir Lime Leaves, Lemongrass, Galangal, Coriander, Cumin, Cardamom, Ginger, Lime Zest, Shallots, Salt, and Fish Sauce. I hope that explains Red Curry enough for you to imagine the taste. LoL.
LoL. It can be a bit exotic. For a more Westernized Chapati Fusion combining India, America, and Italy (Sorry Thailand), replace the Red Curry Ingredient with BBQ sauce (I Loooove Sweet Baby Ray's) and instead of pepperoni use cut up chicken breast. And you automatically get Chapati BBQ Chicken Pizza! Just double the amount of BBQ to 3 tsp instead of 1 1/2 tsp for a nice sweet BBQ Tomato sauce.
Not fond of the BBQ replacing the marinara either. Or Buffalo.. Although, I don't know if you had this before, but replace the marinara with ketchup, mustard, mayonnaise, and Thousand Island dressing, then top it with white American cheese instead of mozzarella, load it with hamburger, and add pickles, tomatoes, minced onions, and shredded lettuce (to the point where it looks like you threw it through a paper shredder), and you get yourself a "Big Mac" pizza. It's awesome
It tastes best on a thin crust. When we heard about it, just one place made them here, but we started requesting it from other places, and from there it started to catch on. Now it's hard not to find a place up here that makes it. Some places cook it with the other toppings on it such as the lettuce, tomato, and onion, but other places put them on later. I like it both ways, but prefer the tomatoes cooked because I can't stand uncooked tomatoes. While we're on the topic of pizza, there's another place up here called Sophi's (it's really small and in a rich redneck town) that makes good pepperoni pizza. They put a layer of pepperonis on over the marinara, then the cheese on top of the pepperonis, followed by another layer of pepperonis. When the right people are working there, it is soooo perfect, because you get one group of little squares of pepperoni (they cut up the top layer pepperonis) that's crunchy, then a soft layer hidden under the cheese. It's so greasy and good. Speaking of grease, my favorite pizza place I've been to up here is Standish House of Pizza. There's a House of Pizza in most towns, but Standish, and Waterboro are the best by a longshot.
Sorry I kinda went off like that. I sometimes get excited when talking about greasy food.
