Tandoori Paneer Naan Pizza - Air Fryer / Oven
Tandoori Paneer Naan Pizza uses garlic naan as a base topped with spiced tandoori-marinated paneer cubes, pizza sauce, sliced vegetables, and layers of mozzarella and optional feta cheese. The pizza cooks quickly in an air fryer or oven until the cheese melts and edges crisp slightly. The combination balances creamy paneer with tangy sauce and fresh vegetables over soft naan, offering a fusion snack or meal.

For Tandoori Paneer

Instructions
- Mix all the ingredients mentioned for Tandoori Paneer in a bowl.
- Line a baking tray with parchment paper. Place naans on the baking tray and apply sauce on each and spread evenly. Spread a little mozzarella on the two naans.
- Place the paneer cubes (mixed with yogurt and spices) on the two naans. Next start spreading the red onions, bell peppers and grape tomatoes.
- Next spread an even layer of mozzarella on top of the veggies. Optionally, sprinkle some feta cheese on top. Finally add some chopped cilantro.
- Air Fryer: Cook on 350F for 8-10 minutes. Start checking after 7 minutes and crisp to your preference.
- Oven: Preheat oven to 400F. Bake for about 10 – 15 mins or until the cheese melts. If you like, you can broil for 2-3 minutes for a crisper cheese finish. When the cheese has melted, they are ready to pull out and enjoy!

Notes
- Use cooked chicken strips marinated like the paneer as a variation for non-vegetarian pizza.
- Diverse breads like whole wheat naan, pita, or lavash can substitute plain naan; adjust baking time accordingly.
- Select quick-cooking vegetables to prevent moisture buildup and maintain crispness on the pizza.
- Choose your preferred cheese type; mozzarella and feta blends provide texture and flavor variations.
- Watch baking closely as oven types differ; crisp edges and melted cheese indicate doneness.
