Prepare the Dal Flour Crust
- Mix together moong dal, urad dal, besan, semolina, and rice flour in a bowl. Add salt and red chili powder. Gradually add water, mixing until a thick, smooth batter forms. Let the batter rest for 10 minutes. Adjust the consistency if needed.
Cook the Crust
- Heat a non-stick pan over medium-low heat. Add 2-3 tablespoons of oil. Pour 4 tablespoons of batter onto the pan for each pizzette, spreading it to create a thin, roughly 3-inch circle. Cook for 2-3 minutes per side, or until golden brown and cooked through. Use a round cookie cutter if desired.
Prepare the Toppings
- Finely chop the onion, bell pepper, and tomato. In a bowl, combine the chopped vegetables with the paneer cubes. Sprinkle with oregano, garlic powder, thyme, salt, chili flakes, and tandoori masala. Mix gently.
Assemble and Bake the Pizzettes
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Spread a thin layer of ketchup or pizza sauce on each cooked pizzette. Top with 2 tablespoons of the prepared vegetable and paneer mixture. Sprinkle generously with grated mozzarella cheese.
Bake and Serve
- Place the pizzettes on a baking sheet and bake for 5-7 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly. Remove from oven and let cool slightly before serving. Enjoy!
