I have already posted a pizza with paneer topping,but just used paneer as such and sprinkled the masala powders on top. This time I marinated the paneer just as we do for the paneer tikka, and then made the pizza. It sure had a difference.The spicy paneer is just a treat along with the cheesy pizza. I usually top only with only onion,tomato and capsicum, but this paneer tikka is a nice spicy add as a topping.

Capsicum – 1/2,chopped
Panner tikka – As needed
Mozzarella cheese – For topping
Italian seasoning – For topping
Paneer tikka
Paneer cubes – 1/2 cup
Hung curd – 2 – 3 tblsp
Red chilli powder – 1/2 tsp
Crushed black pepper – 1/2 – 1 tsp
Tandoori masala powder – 1/2 – 1 tsp
Lemon juice – from 1/2 of a lemon
Ajwain/omam – 1 tsp
Salt and oil – As needed
Hung curd – 2 – 3 tblsp
Red chilli powder – 1/2 tsp
Crushed black pepper – 1/2 – 1 tsp
Tandoori masala powder – 1/2 – 1 tsp
Lemon juice – from 1/2 of a lemon
Ajwain/omam – 1 tsp
Salt and oil – As needed
Marinate the paneer cubes with other ingredients and refrigerate at least 30 minutes.
Method
- Take a broad vessel,add oilive oil,sugar,luke warm water. Mix well to dissolve sugar, add the milk and yeast.
- Mix well to dissolve the yeast. If you are not confident about the yeast, I would suggest proofing the yeast. (Refer notes)
- Add the flour and gather to get a smooth dough. No need to knead so much.
- Keep covered with a wet cloth till an hour. After an hour it will be doubled in size.
- Punch down and flatten the pizza dough with rolling pin or you can use your hands.
- Roll the edges a bit to form a rim, or you can spread the dough in the middle thinner than the sides to bring the rim and spread the sauce. Sprinkle required cheese and then top with chopped onion,tomato,capsicum,paneer cubes. You can toss the paneer cubes on tawa before topping it.
- Pre-heat oven to 1900C and bake it for 13-15 minutes or until the top turns golden brown.
Notes
- Proof the yeast if you are doubtful that its is active or not. Only a good quality yeast will give spongy pizzas. Otherwise it will turn hard.
- Heat the milk just till it turns warm. Add the yeast and sugar to it. Mix well until the yeast dissolves. Keep a side for 10 minutes. It should rise and become frothy. Then only the yeast is active. Otherwise need not proceed making the dough.
Enjoy the soft,tasty, spicy Indian homemade pizzas HOT!

October 10, 2011 at 5:21 amHi Raji
I am great fan of your's and i used to try all your dishes once it published. Likewise, i tried this pizza also. But as you did in the homemade pizza, i kept the pizza base in aluminium foil for baking. Once i switched on the oven, the foil got fire. Immediately i stopped the oven. Then i baked in the cake bowl. Can you please clarify whether we can use aluminium foil, i am scared now. My mail id is [email protected]
RAKS KITCHEN
October 10, 2011 at 7:30 amAluminium foil only I used last time. It can be used only in convection mode. Not in microwave mode. Make sure you do in convection mode. Some times after pre heat when we start, it goes to microwave mode …so be more careful next time. Hope there is no damage to anything.

February 24, 2012 at 1:39 amI just thought of sharing a tip in case the yeast is not active or the dough does not rise. I tried this out when my yeast flopped but the pizza turned out awesome! For 1.5 cups of flour, I added 1 3/4 tsp of baking powder and the pizza was perfect!
Sujatha
February 28, 2012 at 1:37 amAs ramya said, I have tried many dishes. but since i dont have oven am missing doing the baking dishes. Many told me to buy OTG oven..Just wanted to know whether we can use OTG for baking as well as which brand is good. Please suggest.

June 29, 2012 at 9:48 amHi Raks , I made this pizza yday.but the base was not fluffy .it was hard outside and crumbly inside.I just followed the recipe as mentioned here:(is thereanyting else I should have taken care off?I baked in my OTg.the yeast had dissolved and had started bubbling when I added the flour. Has this something to do with the outcome?
Thanks and regs,
Priya
Prabha
October 4, 2012 at 1:46 pmHello Raks….Thanks for the recipe.I tried it and and it came out great! Just one question though. The pizza base still had the smell of yeast. Did you get it when you made the pizza?Is there anything that we can do to eliminate that smell?
Sarenya
June 10, 2013 at 7:05 pmThe pics of your pizza looks very tempting.. Will try this out soon. Thanks for sharing the recipe.
