Method
For the pizza sauce

Boil water in a saucepan. Put the tomatoes in the boiling water for 1 minute. Remove and cool them.
Peel the tomatoes and finely chop them.
Heat the butter in a saucepan. Add the onions and garlic. Fry till they are rown.
Add the tomatoes and cook for 7 to 10 minutes.

How to proceed

Combine all the ingredients in a bowl and knead into a firm dough using enough water (apporx. 4 to 5 tbsp of water). Keep aside for 10 minutes.
Knead well again using ¼ tsp of oil.
Divide the dough into 6 equal portions and roll out each portion into a 75 mm. (3") diameter circle.
Heat a non-stick tava (griddle) and cook each bhakhri on a slow flame till pink spots appear on both the sides.
Continue cooking the bhakhri on a slow flame, while pressing with a folded muslin cloth till it turns crisp and brown in colour on both the sides.
While on the tava (griddle), spread 2 tbsp of pizza sauce and top a tbsp of paneer evenly over it. Cover it with a lid and cook for 2 minutes.
Repeat with the remaining ingredients to make 5 more bhakhri pizzas.
Cool slightly and serve immediately.
