Pizza Paratha

If you love everything pizza , then this is must try. Hot from oven oops Tava here tasted so good and am not even pizza person or cheese person. Whatever that means…

I added garlic powder and Italian seasoning in dough. And for stuffing I had colored pepper , olives and not so hot green chili with mozzarella cheese. Recipe here:

It will make a good diner with a Side of soup on Weekend. Minestrone soup will go well with it. And it’s winter too now . So pizza paratha + soup will make night warm. I made dough before going out and it was easy and very quick to make paratha when came home hungry. Plan , think your meals little in advance and it will save lot of energy.

Enjoy!

Pizza Using Indian Rotla

Am not sure if I have posted this idea before that I had seen on master chef India. Contestants were asked to make pizza with Indian flavor or something like that . I make Mexican style pizza using Indian rotla. What I like is rotla we make fresh which taste really good and then you top with your favorite ingredients. 

  • I made rotla using corn flour and the reason I am using rotla is because they are thick and so makes a good solid base. You can also use jowar/sorghum rotla. Make rotla little small in size.
  • Put lettuce leaves on top of rotla.
  • Now put black beans seasoned with salt and cumin powder. Or you can use kidney beans but mash them little.
  • Top with salsa or chopped tomatoe , onion, cucumber, cilantro.
  • Add chopped avocado and cheddar cheese.
  • Take a bite. It’s really good.
  • It makes good filling wholesome meal.
  • Enjoy!

Fig Pizza


There are lot of fig pizza recipes online and seems goat cheese pairs well with figs and I am not cheese lover but I like goat cheese . So had to try this pizza and I really liked it. Here’s how I did it.

  • I had whole wheat pita so that became my pizza base. Very creative.:)
  • Saute long sliced onion in olive oil. Add salt and I also added crushed pepper since I like spicy. Oh and also I cooked some sliced Bella mushroom too with onion. Vegetables are must for me .
  • Apply some olive oil on pita.
  • Put onion , mushroom mixture evenly and top with sliced fresh figs and goat cheese.
  • Bake for 8 – 10mins and I broiled for 2 mins at the end .Makes fig juicy.
  • Garnish with Arugula. Don’t miss this. It’s little bitter and peppery I felt and pairs well with goat and figs.
  • Take a bite and you will be very impressed and proud of you  like me. pizza is busting with flavors.
  • You can also make salad, sandwich , top on bread slices or fill in pita bread all same ingredients. Be creative!
  • Enjoy !

  • Spread remaining cheese.
  • I baked in toaster oven for 30mins. First 15 mins at 400F and then at 350. Turned out nice crispy .
  • Makes nice easy lunch.

IMG_0754

  • I buy mexican pizza many times at work for lunch from mexican place. Have seen how they make it and tried to recreate at home . It turned out perfect and it’s so easy to make.
  • Pinto beans soaked and cooked fresh. That’s the secret to have good pizza.  Drain and reserve water to use in something else. Mesh the beans and add salt. Now don’t forget to taste this bean mixture. It’s so yummy.
  • Heat  a pan with little oil. Spread bean mixture on tortilla and now throw it on heated pan. Add boiled corn, chopped red onion, cilantro, green chilli, red-yellow-green peppers and sprinkle salt. Finally some cheese on the top.
  • Now cover the pan and let it cook until cheese is melted. Make sure base doesn’t burn but it will become nice crispy.
  • Enjoy !
