Butter Paneer Naan Pizza | Naanizza

Butter Paneer Naan Pizza is a super delicious paneer butter masala curry topped with homemade wholemeal naan, cheese and onions would make a mind-blowing naainzza for lunch or dinner.

Naaniza is Indian style fusion recipe of pizza which has naan for the base and a luscious creamy paneer butter masala curry as a topping along with lots of cheese. This is a totally sinful naan pizza that would make you feel just amazing.

I used paneer butter masala curry for the topping but you know the sky is the limit, use whatever gravy, dry or semidry curry you love as a topping and enjoy this classic dish in the new avatar of fusion with Italian flavours.

For the first time I tried making wholemeal wheat flour naan and it came out really well. Everyone loved it as a base for pizza. I think they would like it alone too, I mean without pizza base. Anyways whatever naan base you would like to use, go ahead and do try the naan-iza and I am sure you all will love it.

Make Naan

  • In a mixing bowl and wholemeal flour, salt, baking powder, baking soda. Mix to combine.

  • Likewise, make all three remaining naans and keep them covered with kitchen towel.

  • Sprinkle mozzarella cheese on top of paneer butter masala curry. Grill in preheated oven just to melt the cheese.
  • Remove from grill oven and sprinkle onions, green chilli, mint leaves and butter cubes.
  • Sice and serve warm.

Notes

I used paneer butter masala curry as a topping for the naan but you may use any o your favourite curry.
I made the wholemeal naan on the stove top but they can be made in oven or grill mode.
You may use store-bought or homemade regular naans too.
