Paneer Tikka Pizza

Posted by sweetenedwithspice on

Here it is folks! This iconic pizza was so much fun to make!

For those of you who are new to the trend, Paneer Tikka Pizza has become such a popular fusion dish these last few months. It’s this deliciously decadent and clever combination of a meal that’s found in most Indian restaurants and a PIZZA! I just love how easy this is to make your food so presentable, shareable, and easy to eat. Stay tuned because I will definitely be trying out some more pizza combos!

I cannot wait to hear what you all think of this recipe! As always, be sure to tag me on Instagram if you try it out 🙂 #sweetenedwithspice

XOXO Happy Eating!

Pro Tips:

  1. I created two individual sized pizzas by using premade firestone naan. I ended up having a little extra marinated paneer that I stored in the refrigerator and used a few days later as filling for Kati Rolls! If you want to create one whole pie of pizza this mixture would work well for that too!
  2. Make sure to cube your paneer to bite-sized pieces. I’ve seen folks cube them to bigger squares but I found that it results in your pizza falling apart when eating. Check out the photo below if you need inspiration!
  3. Mix up your peppers! I had red bell peppers on hand but if I had the other colors I would have DEFINITELY mixed them in.
  4. If you want some extra spice add 1 or two finely grated or chopped green chillis to the marinade.
