Grilled Paneer -corn Pizza

After trying each and every menu of Domino's and Pizza Hut , its time to make my own pizza at home :)....I do not know why I could not gather the courage to make pizza at home though it is a simple recipe!! Even my mother-in-law was so excited when she made a pizza few months back. So somehow it encouraged me that I can also make one. And I tried my best :)

Ingredients :

1. Pizza base- 1
2. Tomato- 1 large
3. Onion- 1 large
4. Garlic cloves- 7 to 8
5. Tomato puree- 2 tbs
6. Salt to taste
7. Sugar- 1 tbs
8. Chilly sauce- 1 tsp
9. Vinegar- 2 tbs
10. Soy sauce- 1 tbs
11. Worcestershire sauce- 1 tsp
12. Black pepper powder- 1 tbs
13. Olive oil- 2 tbs
14. Green chilly- 2
15. Paneer- 1/2 cup
16. Sweet corn- 1/4 cup
17. Baby corn- 1/4 cup
18. Go pizza cheese as required
19. Green olive- 3 to 4
20. Red capsicum- 1/4 cup
21. Parsley- 1 tbs
22. Cherry tomato- 3 to 4
23. Mayonnaise- 1 tbs


Procedure :

First finely chop the capsicum , cherry tomato , parsley , olive and baby corn. Now heat the oil in a pan and add all the chopped vegetables except olive. Sprinkle the soy sauce , Worcestershire , vinegar , 1 tsp pepper  , salt and chilly sauce. Now cut the paneer into small cubes and add it to the pan. Add the sweet corn too. Cover the pan so that the vegetables get cooked while they remain moist. Remove when they are done.

Now it is time to make the base sauce for the pizza. You can even buy one from the store , but I preferred to make it on my own. Seems like I love to do a lot of hard work ;)....For the sauce , finely chop the tomato , onion and garlic cloves. Heat oil in a pan and add the onion and garlic first. Fry them for few minutes till the onion turns translucent. Grind the green chillies in mixer grinder. Add the chilly paste and tomato to it. After 4 to 5 minutes of cooking , add the sugar , pepper , tomato puree, salt and 1 tbs vinegar to it. If you like some really hot pizza sauce , then you can add some chilly sauce to it. Add a little dash of water and cover it. Stir the mixture occasionally and mash it. When the sauce turns thick and red in color , turn off the heat. If the sauce remains a little lumpy , blend it once.

Now as I had done the pizza in a microwave , hence first I grilled the lower part of the pizza base for 3 to 4 minutes. This made the base a little crunchy which I liked the most. Next I grilled the upper part for 2 minutes. Now spread the tomato sauce over the pizza base. Then spread the mayonnaise. Then comes the cheesy part of the pizza :) Grate the cheese all over the base. Use as much cheese as you like to (that is why  I am not telling you how much cheese did I use). On top of it spread the chopped green olive and the paneer mixture. Grill it for another 6 minutes or till the cheese melts. Sprinkle a little seasoning. Your paneer corn pizza is ready!!
