Spicy Paneer Pizza Recipe

temp-687

 

It was Friday evening when my kids suddenly announced that they want to have Pizza. It was already late evening and I had planned Paneer curry with Methi Parantha (Indian flatbread flavored with Fenugreek) for dinner. I told them that dinner is already planned and we can have Pizza the next day. I made some extra Paneer masala so that I can use it as topping on the Pizza. Paneer Pizza is a hit in my house and my kids love any kind of Paneer toppings. My hubby who is not a pizza fan doesn't mind having it either. Paneer is such a versatile ingredient, you can make endless dishes with it each having different taste and flavor. There are so many popular Paneer toppings for Pizza...Paneer Makhani, Paneer Tikka Masala, spicy Chilli Paneer and even palak paneer topping. I have tried Palak Paneer topping with Alfredo sauce on Pizza and trust me it was worth giving a try.

I made this spicy Dhaba style Paneer Masala. Dhaba is a roadside restaurant in India. I had some pre-baked Pizza base in the freezer that I made last weekend when I made veggie pizza. With all ingredients ready to assemble dinner was ready within 10-15 minutes and we enjoyed the desi Pizza flavors along with some homemade garlic knots and lemonade. For detailed Pizza base recipe please click on the link Pizza Tonight!! You can also use store-bought Pizza dough, roll it, layer with some pizza sauce and Paneer topping of your choice and bake. I made three Paneer Pizza, you can make as per your requirement. The linked Pizza dough recipe gives you 6-7 medium sized Pizza.
