Ingredients

Quantity	Ingredients
For Pizza Dough
300 gms	Bread flour
1 tsp	Yeast
1 tsp	Salt
1 tbsp	Olive oil
As needed	Water
For Toppings
2 cups	Pizza sauce
200 gms	Paneer, cubed
1/4 tsp	Turmeric powder
1/2 tsp	Chilli powder
1 tbsp	Tandoori masala powder
1 cup	Mozzarella cheese, shredded
1 cup	Cheddar cheese, grated
1	Onion, chopped
1	Green belle pepper, chopped
As needed	Coriander, chopped
1 tsp	Lemon juice
To taste	Salt

Method

Combine flour, yeast, and salt in a large bowl. Add olive oil and mix well. Gradually add water until a soft dough forms. Knead for 10 minutes on a floured surface until smooth and elastic. Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover with a damp cloth, and let it rise in a warm place for 1-2 hours, or until doubled in size.
In a bowl, combine cubed paneer, turmeric powder, red chilli powder, tandoori masala powder, salt and vinegar. Mix well to coat the paneer evenly. Marinate for at least 30 minutes, or preferably for 2 hours or longer for deeper flavours.
Preheat your oven to 250°C. Spread a thin layer of pizza sauce on the dough. Top with marinated paneer cubes. Scatter mozzarella and cheddar cheese over the top. Add chopped red onion, green pepper and coriander leaves.
Bake the pizza for 10-12 minutes. Slice the pizza and serve hot.
