- 200 g paneer, cubed
- 1 medium onion, diced
- ½ cup sweet corn (optional)
- 1 medium green bell pepper, diced
- 1 medium red bell pepper, diced
- 1 tbsp Calabrian chilies (optional)
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 1 tsp red chili flakes
- ½ tsp black pepper powder

- 5 cloves garlic, minced
- ½ cup Schezwan sauce (add more for extra spice)
- 2 tsp soy sauce
- 1 tbsp honey

Instructions
- In a large bowl, combine cubed paneer, diced onion, bell peppers, sweet corn (if using), Calabrian chilies, garlic powder, red chili flakes, black pepper, and salt. Mix well and set aside.
- Melt butter in a pan over medium heat. Add minced garlic and sauté until fragrant. Remove from heat.
- Spread garlic butter evenly over the pizza bases.
- In a small bowl, mix Schezwan sauce, soy sauce, and honey. Spread this sauce mixture evenly on top of the garlic butter on each pizza base.
- Top each pizza with the prepared paneer and veggie mix. Sprinkle mozzarella cheese generously over the toppings.
- Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C). Place pizzas on a baking tray and bake for 10–12 minutes or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
- Remove from oven and garnish with chopped cilantro or spring onions. Slice and serve hot.
Notes
- You can use naan or flatbread as a quick alternative to pizza bases.
- Adjust the amount of Schezwan sauce to suit your spice preference.
- Swap paneer with tofu for a vegan version and use plant-based cheese.
- Calabrian chilies add depth but can be skipped for a milder flavor.
