Step‑by‑Step Instructions
- In a large skillet over medium heat, melt 50g of butter and sauté 3 minced garlic cloves and 1 teaspoon of minced ginger until fragrant, about 2 minutes. Add 600g of boneless, skinless chicken, diced, and cook for 6-8 minutes until golden and cooked through. Stir in 200g of tomato puree, 200g of heavy cream, and the ground spices: 1 teaspoon each of cumin, coriander, turmeric, garam masala, chili powder, and paprika. Simmer for 10 minutes until creamy, then cool the mixture.
- In a small saucepan, melt 100g of unsalted butter over low heat. Add 4 minced garlic cloves and optional 1 teaspoon of chili flakes, stirring frequently for about 2-3 minutes until garlic is just golden and fragrant. Remove from heat and stir in chopped fresh coriander.
- Roll out 600g of pizza dough on a lightly floured surface into approximately 6-inch circles. Place a generous spoonful of the cooled butter chicken filling in the center of each circle, followed by a handful of shredded mozzarella cheese (about 33g per calzone).
- Fold each dough circle over the filling to create a half-moon shape. Pinch the edges tightly to seal.
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and place your calzones on it. Bake for 15-20 minutes or until they are golden brown and crispy.
- Once baked, remove the calzones from the oven and let them cool slightly. Garnish with additional fresh coriander and serve warm.

Notes
Allow the filling to cool before filling the dough to prevent sogginess. Make sure to seal edges tightly.
