  1. In a large bowl, combine the plain yogurt, garlic, ginger, lemon juice, hot paprika, cumin, garam masala, and cayenne pepper. Mix until smooth and aromatic.
  2. Take the boneless skinless chicken thighs and coat them thoroughly with half of the prepared marinade. Let them sit for at least 30 minutes.
  3. In a separate bowl, mix the remaining marinade with tomato paste to create a zesty pizza sauce.
  4. Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. Grill the marinated chicken for 6-7 minutes on each side.
  5. On each naan bread, spread a layer of the prepared sauce. Top with sliced grilled chicken, fresh mango, red onion, and mozzarella.
  6. Return the assembled naan pizzas to the grill or skillet. Cook for 5-7 minutes until cheese is melted.
  7. Sprinkle fresh mint and cilantro on top before serving.
