Paneer Tikka Pizza is a desi version of Pizza which is easy to make but might sound a bit complicated. I made the pizza from scratch so it was a bit time consuming but every minute spent was paid off.
Its been very long we had pizza so thought of making some home made pizza with Indian toppings. We have been avoid pizza for few months but it a joy to have pizza after a long time. Paneer tikka is a very famous Indian starter when you turn it to a topping is taste very delicious, I first had them in Indian Pizza hut back in chennai and was in love with them, after which I tried it a couple of times at home and we enjoy freshly made pizza a lot.. For my day 2 its Desi pizza 🙂 .. Check out the Blogging Marathon page for the other Blogging Marathoners doing BM#46. Linking to Kids delight hosted by Mireille.
