In a pressure cooker combine green lentils (or black eyed peas) and onion, turmeric and cardamom pods with 2 cups water & cook till soft. Set aside. If using the conventional technique, boil with adequate water till the lentils can be squished easily between fingers. Blend the ginger, garlic, red chillies, coriander, cumin and garam masala into a paste. In a skillet heat the oil/ghee and add the paste & cook till the raw smell disappears and the oil begins to ooze out from the sauteed paste. Add the crushed tomatoes & salt and cook for ~ 5 minutes. Add the cooked lentils (or black eyed peas), lower heat & simmer for ~ 10-15 minutes till the flavors are well combined. Roll pizza dough into a 6" circle. Line the centre (~ 4inch circle) with slices of paneer cheese and sprinkle with chat masala, Spoon a tablespoon of the green lentil dal filling over the paneer. You may add some extra slivers of Paneer over the dal if desired. Bring the edges of the dough towards the centre, pinching it together to form a tart. Brush with melted butter & sprinkle with nigella seeds Bake in a 350 F oven for ~ 15 minutes till the edges & base are golden brown. Cut into wedges & serve with a Tall Glass of Lassi... (or Lager!)
