Chicken Tikka Calzone brings together the bold spices of Indian tandoori cuisine and the structure of a classic Italian calzone. Traditionally, calzones are folded pizzas baked at high temperatures to seal fillings inside a crisp crust. Here, yoghurt-marinated chicken tikka replaces conventional toppings, making it hearty and protein-rich for Ramadan iftar spreads. The contrast of smoky spiced chicken and melted mozzarella creates a satisfying balance, ideal for sharing after a day of fasting.
