Butter Chicken Calzones
At their Chicago restaurant Superkhana International, Zeeshan Shah and Yoshi Yamada’s decadent, flavor-packed Butter Chicken Calzone takes three days to make; thankfully, they’ve shared some shortcuts (like a great store-bought butter chicken spice blend and store-bought pizza dough) for this homemade version. Whole-milk yogurt and gently acidic tomatoes team up with warm spices to flavor and tenderize boneless, skinless chicken thighs for the rich calzone filling. Amul is a firm and salty processed Indian cheese; double the mozzarella if it’s unavailable. Crimp the calzones firmly to seal.
