Indian Pizza

Ingredients
- 1 medium size onion
- 2 small yukon gold or purple potatoes
- pistachios
- honey
- cilantro
- garlic
- olive oil, hot pepper flavoured if available
- pizza dough, or ingredients to make such
- a soft, easily meltable cheese: I recommend fontina, preferably smoked if you can find it
- paneer (optional, but delicious. See my other instructable for how to make your own flavoured paneer)
- Indian spices: I used garam masala, paprika, tumeric, cardamom, cumin, coriander, cloves, and vadavan spice blend

Step 1: Caramelized Curried Onions
First, I heated some hot pepper olive oil and some garlic over medium-low heat. Once that was hot, I added two chopped onions - one large white and one small red, for diversity of flavour.

Then I added my spices. I used 1 tablespoon each of vadavan spice blend (available from Amazon) and garam masala (tastier if you make it yourself), 1 teaspoon each of paprika and tumeric, and 1/2 teaspoon each of cardamom, cumin, coriander, and cloves. Mix them up in the onions, and let cook for 30 minutes. After 30 minutes, cover with a lid, lower heat down to low, and cook for another 20 minutes before transferring to a bowl. Do not wash pan yet!

Step 2: Make Pizza Dough
Mix 1 1/4 teaspoons of active dry yeast with 1/2 cup of warm water, and let sit for 5 minutes (also known as proofing the dough). During these five minutes, heat oven to 200 deg F very briefly, and turn off before yeast is done proofing. Then add 1 cup of white flour, 1/2 cup of whole wheat flour, 1 teaspoon of salt, 1 teaspoon of minced garlic, and 2 tablespoons of chopped cilantro, and combine to form a rough shaggy dough.

Knead for 5 minutes, either by hand or with your handy-dandy dough hook.

Transfer dough to a well-oiled bowl, and cover with plastic wrap. Let dough rise for 30 minutes, or until doubled in size, in your pre-heated oven.

Step 3: Lightly Toast Sliced Potatoes
While your dough is rising, slice your potatoes as thin as possible. If you have a mandolin, this is the perfect time for it.

Add some oil to your onion-spice pan and heat on medium heat. Toast potato slices for 1 minute on each side.

Step 4: Prepare Pizza Dough
Once the dough has doubled in size, remove from oven. Heat oven to 450 deg F.

Roll out pizza as thin as possible, to fit either a 12 inch or 16 inch pizza pan, whatever you have available. Brush the pizza with oil (hot pepper olive oil preferred) and bake for 5 minutes.

Step 5: Assemble Pizza Toppings
Grate your fontina or other soft cheese, until you have about 2/3 of a cup.

Layer your toppings on the pre-baked pizza crust. I prefer this order:
- potatoes
- onions
- pistachios
- paneer
- fontina

Step 6: Bake Your Pizza
Bake your pizza for 10-15 minutes, or until crust is brown and crunchy, and all the fontina has melted.

Drizzle with honey and sprinkle with cilantro as soon as it comes out of the oven.
