Naan Pizza / Indian Flat Bread Pizza

Cooking a special dish on a weekend ,that too trying a new recipe gives pleasure. Making Naan at home was inspired again by a TV show in URDU.But the idea of making it as a Naan pizza was originated instantly by my daughter.Once again we had the fun of cooking together and enjoyed the weekend serving the dish, which came out successfully,and got appreciation from all the family members. As the Naan was first prepared, we made the pizza on the Tavva/frying-pan on the stove top instead of the Oven.So the topping was also  cooked separately.We made two different toppings.One was the usual topping and the other an Asian topping.

INGREDIENTS

Capsicum/Bell papper	1 no
Onion	1 no
Mushroom	100 gm
Paneer	100 gm
Pickled jalapenos	few
Marinara sauce	6 tblsp
Mozzarella cheese	6 tblsp
Garlic	6 cloves
Pepper powder	2 tsp
Salt`	To taste
Naan	6 pieces

Asian Topping

Onion	1 no
Tofu	100 gm
Tandoori Masala	2 tsp
Garlic	6 cloves
Shredded cabbage	1/2 cup
Broccoli stem	few stripes
Tomato Sauce	4 tsp
Mozzarella cheese	6 tblsp
Naan	6 pieces
Salt and pepper	To taste

METHOD

Cut Capsicum/Bell peppers into thin strips, slice onion,slice mushroom and make cubes of paneer and finely chop garlic and set aside.

Heat oil in a pan add the vegetables and stir fry on high flame.

Add salt and pepper powder mix well and remove.

Heat a non stick pan.

Take a Naan (prepared fresh but not very hot), spread marinara or tomato sauce, then spread  the vegetables,place a few pickled jalapenos above the vegetables, then spread the grated mozzarella cheese.

Place it on the hot pan and cover with a lid.

When the cheese melts remove it and serve.

Same way  pizza with the second topping can also be made.

Stir fry the vegetables given under Asian topping in a pan, add tandoori masala powder and mix well.

Add salt and pepper powder and remove when the vegetables are still crisp.

Repeat the procedure in spreading the topping and make pizza.

Fresh home made,small size Naan with two different toppings are ready to serve.

All we need is to plan ahead to give time for the Naan dough to be ready. The recipe for Naan follows.

Note:

Take care not to burn the naan, as it is already cooked and since the vegetables are also cooked, the naan with toppings should be heated on medium flame just for the cheese to melt.When covered with lid the medium heat is enough for the cheese to melt.
