paneer pizza recipe | paneer tikka pizza | homemade pizza with paneer with detailed video recipe. basically an indian variation to the popular italian pizza recipe flavoured with marinated tikka sauce and paneer. the recipe is very similar to the one served in indian pizza hut centre with thick crust. also the same recipe can also be prepared with all purpose flour as compared to the wheat flour. In this recipe I have used whole wheat flour to make it’s helthier version.
paneer pizza recipe | paneer tikka pizza | homemade pizza with paneer with step by step video recipe. perhaps one of the most popular indian version of pizza recipe served with paneer tikka. the credit goes to the indian pizza hut menu which introduced it with the pizza hut inception in india. the other paneer variation in the pizza hut menu is peppy paneer pizza which is also hugely popular.
tikka pizza recipe has become a common recipe in india and overseas. hence there are several flavours and variations to this fusion pizza recipe. with paneer tikka pizza you can find mushroom tikka pizza, chicken tikka pizza and even aloo tikka pizza recipe. basically the recipe follows the same procedure as any traditional pizza recipe but the toppings is different. the marinated paneer cubes with diced onions and capsicum is placed on pizza. once the paneer cubes are added, pizza base is topped with generous amount of mozzarella cheese and paneer pizza is ready.
furthermore some important tips and suggestions for a perfect paneer pizza recipe. firstly, in the marination process i have added only paneer cubes in this recipe. but this recipe can be easily extended and mushroom and aloo can also be added to the marination process. secondly, the pizza base is typically prepared with maida flour. but if you have any gluten allergy than prepared the same with wheat flour base. lastly, i have baked the pizza in traditional oven, however the paneer tikka pizza can also be prepared with tawa too.
finally i would like to highlight my other international recipe collection with this post of PANEER TIKKA PIZZA. this includes cheese burst pizza, homemade garlic bread, veggie pasta, falafel etc.
Notes –
- additionally, add mushrooms or vegetables of your choice in marination.
- freeze leftover dough in a airtight container or zip lock bag greasing with oil. dough stays fresh for atleast a month.
- also knead the dough well, else pizza will be chewy.
- finally, bake the homemade paneer tikka pizza in very hot preheated oven else, the base of pizza will be raw.
