Tawa Paneer Pizza

Tawa Paneer Pizza is a no bake pizza that you can cook on the stovetop using a tawa. With toppings like paneer and roasted veggies, this is a crowd pleaser!

Pizzas are my kids all time favorite food and I make sure I bake these at every given point. With Kids being at home for their Pongal Vacation, I had to think of different snacks to keep them hungry free. It’s unbelievable how hungry they are all the time. Believe me, it’s not for food but only for snacks, they like that is also related to chocolates all the time or some chips.

I combined this dish with something else to make them happy with their favorite meal. They loved it so much and wanted more. They even complained that I only do a sample of these foods that they like. I had to tell them that rest of the things are almost blogged and I need to find out new dishes that they will enjoy!

When Archana wanted to pick a theme for Kids Delight this month, she had a couple of themes and Cooking on Tawa was one of them. I somehow love this theme and though I am never with ideas, I wanted to find out new ones this time. Surprisingly there are so many dishes that are cooked on tawa, apart from Tawa Pulao etc. Do read on what Archana had to write about what all are accepted for this theme.

Tawa is a typical Indian frying pan, used for making crepes like Dosas, and bread like Chapatis etc. In our home, we even use it to roast Peanut, saute vegetables for chutneys etc. Apart from this, there are so many sandwiches that are made. So you have a wide choice to select. However, the last time I selected this theme, I was only able to do Tawa Pulao, the famous Mumbai Street food, and Tawa Chilli Paneer.

Sending this to my Kid’s Delight event, guest hosted by Archana, themed on “Cooking on Tawa” for Kids.
