“Pizza makes me think that anything is possible” Henry Rollins

smart man.

so, pizza.

Pizza is like this blank canvas that can stand up to just about anything.

I have heard of SO many different kinds of pizzas. Some are amazing like a truffle and potato, but some are…let’s say questionable, like a tuna fish salad pizza.

I think I’ll pass on that, BUT. Instead I’ll take an Indian style pizza made with fresh paneer and a sweet and spicy tomato chutney pizza sauce HERE.

Paneer Tikka Masala is one of my favorite dishes on an Indian take out menu. The tikka masala is usually creamy and spiced and tastes so good with garlic naan.

At first, I thought about making the garlic naan as the base for the pizza, but I didn’t want the sauces to soak up into the bread, so, I thought PIZZA.

Pizza crust is sturdier than naan, but I wanted a healthier option.

J and I have become pretty obsessed with Cauliflower crust, which has led to us eating more pizza.

Oops.

Paneer Tikka Pizza

Homemade paneer is V easy to make and can be done in about 45 minutes.

Check out the recipe here.

Once you have made the paneer, marinate it in the tikka masala sauce, and then top the pizza with it along with all your favorite ingredients!

Enjoy!
