Curry on pizza? yes, it is possible, and the flavors are incredible. Although you can make your own crust, if you are in a hurry, opt for a vegan crust from Whole Foods or your local market.
If you are following a no oil plant based, diet, I have included an easy homemade crust. You can also make individual pizzas on vegan English muffins, or a whole wheat tortilla.
Although the sauce is simple, the flavors are creamy and intense. The tahini drizzle and cilantro bring all the flavors together.
