Paneer Tikka Pizza with Spicy Yogurt Sauce

Author: Flavelo
Recipes Vegetarian & Vegan Dishes Main Courses
Paneer Tikka is India's answer to BBQ: fresh cheese marinated in spiced yogurt, skewered and baked in a tandoor. On pizza, this meets Italian tradition. Paneer is special because it doesn't melt; it keeps its shape and browns, providing a meaty bite alongside the gooey mozzarella.

⚠️ Milk

Instructions

1 ✓

Mix half the yogurt with spices. Coat paneer cubes, marinate 20-30 mins.

Tip: Acidity helps flavor penetration.
2 ✓

Preheat oven to 425°F. Chop peppers and onions into chunks.

Tip: Rustic chunks stay crunchy.
3 ✓

Roll dough. Spread thin layer of remaining spiced yogurt (or tomato sauce if preferred).

Tip: Yogurt sauce separates slightly in heat, which is normal.
4 ✓

Sprinkle mozzarella, arrange marinated paneer and veggies.

Tip: Paneer stays cubed, won't spread.
5 ✓

Bake 12-15 mins until paneer edges brown.

Tip: Brown crust on cheese cubes is desirable.
6 ✓

Top with plenty of fresh cilantro.

Tip: Fresh herb cuts the spice richness.

Recipe FAQ

What is Paneer?
Fresh Indian cheese (milk + lemon juice, no rennet). Mild flavor, absorbs spices perfectly.
Substitute?
Halloumi or firm tofu behave similarly (won't melt away), but flavor differs.
