Who does not like pizza, but having pizza outside is generally not healthy. How about we make whole wheat pizza with our choice of toppings. So this time we are back with a fun to eat pizza, peppy paneer pizza. I generally use my whole wheat pizza dough and pizza sauce recipes.
Peppy paneer pizza has some mild bell peppers or capsicum. We have also thrown in some soft paneer making it a very desi pizza. Generally I’m not a big fan of fusion food, I do make some exceptions though.
You can obviously add more spice by using proper spicy chillies. Anything that suits you, for children try to be minimal with the spice. They do always like cheese and paneer. Try more pizza recipes from FOI, tomato basil pizza, fig and goat’s cheese pizza. Try more paneer recipes from FOI, paneer tikka, methi malai paneer.
