- 1 Medium Onion, Diced
- 1/2 cup Sweet Corn (Optional)
- 1 Medium Green Bell Pepper, Diced
- 1 Medium Red Bell Pepper, Diced
- 1 Tablespoon Calabrian Chilies (Optional)
- 1 Teaspoon Garlic Powder
- 1 Teaspoon Red Chili Flakes
- 1/2 Teaspoon Black Pepper Powder
- 1 Teaspoon Salt
- 4 Tablespoon Butter
- 5 Cloves Garlic, Minced
- 1/2 cup Schezwan Sauce (add more for extra spice)
- 2 Teaspoon Soy Sauce
- 1 Tablespoon Honey
- 1.5 cups Shredded Mozzarella Cheese

Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Place the pizza bases on a baking tray or pizza stone.
- In a small pan, melt butter and sauté minced garlic until fragrant. Brush this garlic butter over the pizza bases.
- In a mixing bowl, combine paneer cubes, onion, bell peppers, sweet corn, Calabrian chilies, garlic powder, chili flakes, black pepper, and salt.
- In another bowl, mix Schezwan sauce, soy sauce, and honey. Pour this over the paneer mixture and toss to coat evenly.
- Spread the prepared Schezwan paneer mixture over the buttered pizza bases.
- Top with shredded mozzarella cheese.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 12–15 minutes, or until the cheese is bubbly and slightly golden.
- Remove from the oven and garnish with fresh cilantro or chopped spring onions.
- Slice and serve hot.
Notes
- Adjust the Schezwan sauce quantity to your preferred spice level.
- Use store-bought naan or flatbread as a quick alternative to pizza base.
- Calabrian chilies add a smoky heat—skip if you prefer it mild.
- Add a drizzle of extra honey after baking for a sweet-spicy contrast.
