You don't get DESI flavored pizzas in our area and so once again mom is to the rescue!! lol... I looked at various options to see how i could reduce the time it takes to prepare the pizza. Thought of creating my own dough and create the pizza base, but it does take a lot of time.... that can definitely another recipe, however today i wanted to see how i could make my kids happy in q quick timeframe.

This Quick & easy Paneer Pizza is one of my favorite culinary creations :D :P And the paneer tikka marinade might be my new favorite marinade e-ver. this recipe is definitely a keeper . I have been making this Quick & easy paneer tikka pizza On , pizza dough, Naans, flatbreads, tortillas but this one is made on a afghan bread. YES you read it correct!!Afghan bread, or Naan-e Afghani, is the national bread of Afghanistan. The bread is oval or rectangular and baked in a tandoor, a cylindrical oven that is the primary cooking equipment of the sub-continental region.
The marinade very few ingredients ! To make the marinade, whisk together olive oil, lemon juice,tomato paste and a plethora of spices including garlic, cumin powder, garam masala and paprika. Best. Paneer tikka marinate. EVER!
When it comes time to actually make your Paneer tikka Pizza, they take minutes to whip up because you have already marinated your paneer . First you bake your afghan bread for 2 minutes. Afghan bread comes in whole wheat & all purpose flour . I used whole wheat with sesame seeds because that’s my personally favorite . And because we are using this flatbreads instead of pizza crust, you can eat and eat and eat with a big blissful, guilt free smile on your face :D
