Methi Malai Paneer Pizza

Need a twist to the pizza? Try Methi malai Paneer pizza(Home-made Fenugreek cashew-based sauce). I've used TJ crust, topped with methi-malai sauce, cilantro, green chilies. Because..why not?

Methi Malai Mattar Paneer is a popular North Indian dish. This recipe takes the mattar (green peas) out and uses the gravy as pizza sauce. The crust is from Trader Joe's (kale cauliflower). The methi malai is the sauce I made, just like I’d make gravy for Methi Malai Mattar Paneer. I used the Air Fryer to fry the paneer cubes.
