Thin Crust Grilled Paneer Tikka pizza(Whole Wheat and No Sauces)

By Harini
Thin crust grilled paneer tikka pizza(Whole wheat and no sauces)Whenever I feel like I need a break from regular meals/chapathi for dinner,the first thing that comes to mind is pizza.What I love most about pizza is its versatility.One can do wonders with toppings and sauces in a pizza and recently I came to know there are also pizzas with out sauces.I was quite impressed with that and wanted to try my hands on it.I was also eying on thin crust grilled pizza for a long time and I combined all those in this recipe.I made this pizza with whole wheat,I am trying to control the consumption of maida/all purpose flour,as it is highly unlikely to use what in cakes/pastries,I avoid maida in savory bakes as far as possible. Last evening I made paneer tikka for evening snacks and saved few pieces for making this pizza.I have eaten this kind of pizza in a local small coffee shop near my home and wanted to recreate the same at home.As I have used quite spicy paneer and veggies,I skipped the sauces and just topped with cheese.I first thought of not using italian spices but I finally I just sprinkled a little over the cheese and it was yum.The flavors blended so well.This pizza turned out to be the yummiest home made pizza I have made so far.The crust is crispy and simply amazing with grill marks.
