11 Fusion Indian Recipes to Wow Your Guests

2. Paneer Tikka Flatbread (Fusion Pizza)

Think of this as a fusion pizza that brings paneer tikka straight onto the flatbread stage. Cube paneer and marinate in yogurt, lemon juice, turmeric, and tikka masala or garam masala; roast until browned. Spread a light tomato-ginger base on naan, par-baked flatbread, or thin pizza crust, then scatter roasted paneer, charred bell peppers, and thinly sliced red onion. Finish with fresh cilantro leaves, a squeeze of lemon, and a light dusting of chaat masala for a tangy pop. Serve sliced into triangles for easy sharing and arrange on a wooden board for a rustic look. If you want to keep things faster, use store-bought tikka paste mixed into yogurt for the marinade. For a vegan version, swap paneer with firm tofu pressed and marinated the same way. This flatbread feeds a crowd and reheats well; store roasted toppings separately and finish under a hot broiler immediately before serving to keep edges crisp. Offer pickled onions and a cooling cucumber raita to balance the spice. It’s a crowd-friendly option that reads familiar to guests while showcasing classic Indian flavours.
