• Turmeric powder - 1/2 teaspoon

Steps

1. Preheat your oven to 220°C (428°F).
2. In a mixing bowl, crumble the firm tofu and add plant-based yogurt, garam masala, turmeric powder, red chili powder, cumin powder, salt, and lemon juice. Mix well to coat the tofu evenly.
3. Let the tofu marinate for at least 15 minutes to absorb the flavors.
4. While the tofu is marinating, prepare the pizza base by spreading a thin layer of olive oil on it.
5. Spread the marinated tofu evenly over the pizza base, followed by the chopped bell peppers, sliced red onion, and tomato.
6. Sprinkle the vegan mozzarella cheese generously over the top.
7. Bake the pizza in the preheated oven for about 12-15 minutes, or until the cheese has melted and the edges of the crust are golden brown.
8. Remove the pizza from the oven and garnish with fresh cilantro before slicing.
9. Serve hot and enjoy your Paneer Tikka Pizza!
