I don’t have a super definitive recipe as I kind of winged this. Really good though!

  • 1-2 batches of whatever pizza crust recipe you use (I just used my regular bread recipe, added extra water, and did a pouliche the night before)

  • Paneer, cut into squares (marinated overnight in garlic, ginger, oil, lemon juice, and butter chicken sauce)

  • Store bought butter chicken sauce

  • Peas (I just cooked frozen peas in the microwave)

  • cheddar cheese, shredded

  • melted butter (about a Tbsp)

Preheat the oven to 475F, put your pizza stones inside it to heat up.

Rollout your dough on a silicone baking mat, and spread on the sauce. Top with paneer and peas, and cover with a generous coating of cheese. Brush the edge of the crust down with melted butter. Transfer to the oven, lowering temperature to 450F. Bake for 10 minutes, then broil on high until crust achieves your desired level of blackened (about 2 minutes for me).

Let cool as long as you can stand it, and enjoy!

I was first introduced to Indian Pizza when visiting friends at this place https://www.vice.com/en/article/bmpa9d/meet-the-godfather-of-indian-pizza

It was awesome. I still make it.

My mind made itself recoil in horror by reading the title as "Peanut butter pizza" on first glance.

That looks hella good, btw. Had to look up what paneer was and now I am even more interested. Some kind of cheese I've never tried before? Gimme! 🥺

Just be prepared - paneer isn’t super flavoured (especially the stuff you get from the store), so be sure to season it by cooking it in a nice sauce

Kind of feels like when i sometimes have some leftover indian or nepalese food and naan that is starting to be a bit hard so i just put the sauce on top of the naan an then put it in oven for some time to make a kind of a "pizza"

[–] [email protected] 1 points 9 months ago

I’ve done that one too; one of the best uses for leftovers!

This looks great, and I appreciate that you didn't just casually mention butter paneer pizza without following up with the details! I'm trying this soon.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 9 months ago

Honestly 100% recommend, let me know how it goes!

[–] [email protected] 2 points 9 months ago (1 children)

Hey, it's the bastard Indian-American fusion pizza! You made it! I'd 10000% take a slice if I could. Looks delicious.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 9 months ago

Hey, just make your own! And let me know how it goes

I haven't tried this, and I'm not gonna lie, it's not easy on the eyes. Would love to be proven wrong though, but it's not gonna be me who proves it 😅 Somebody's gotta give me a sample.

lol how reddit, down votes for having an opinion 👍

[–] [email protected] 6 points 9 months ago (1 children)

If you like Indian food, and you like pizza, this is just the format of pizza with the flavours of Indian food so you’ll certainly enjoy it.

As to the aesthetic appeal, “there’s no accounting for taste!“

[–] victorz 1 points 9 months ago

Sure! If it doesn't appeal to the eyes I'm probably not going to try though. 🫢 Are those peas, for example?
