Chapati Pizza
Ingredients
- 1 cup wheat flour
- salt to taste
- water as required
- 2 tbsp onion chopped lengthwise
- 1/3 cup capsicum chopped lengthwise
- 1/4 cup boiled sweet corn
- 1/4 cup grated cheese
- oil to toast
FOR THE SAUCE:
- 1 tsp oil
- salt to taste
- 12 tsp garlic finely chopped
- 1/2 cup big onion
- 1 big sized tomato
- 1 tbsp tomato sauce
- 1 tsp chilli flakes
- 1/4 tsp oregano
- 1/8 tsp pepper powder
Instructions
- In a wide mixing bowl add wheat flour, salt and first give a quick mix for salt to be even.
- Then add water little by little, gather to form a soft pliable dough.
- Once it is gathered to a mass add 1/2 tsp oil and knead it once. The dough should not be too tight or too loose, it should be non sticky at this stage.
- Allow it to rest for a while until we prepare the sauce.
- Blanch tomatoes till its skin starts to peel off by itself, drain water, remove the skin and trim the edge. Cut into half and transfer to a mixer.
- Grind it to a smooth puree without adding water. Set aside.
- Heat oil in a kadai – add garlic and sauté till golden brown, then add onion and sauté till transparent.
- Then add tomato puree and let it boil for 3mins.
- Then add tomato sauce, pepper powder, chilli flakes and oregano and let it cook until the sauce is thick.
- Once the sauce comes together to a thick spreadable consistency switch off and set aside.
- Get ready with your ingredients. Toast capsicum in 1/2 tsp oil till it shrinks a bit.
- Take chapathi dough and start rolling into slightly thick chapathi’s.
- Heat a pan, cook chapathi on both sides. I removed the tawa from flame and then arranged the toppings. Spread the sauce.
- Spread the veggies, such that it covers the whole chapathi.
- Finally add grated cheese and then carefully transfer the tawa to flame.
- Cook covered till cheese melts.
- When you open the cheese should be gooey.
- Sprinkle oregano, pepper powder and transfer to serving plate.
- Use pizza cutter to cut into wedges and enjoy Chapathi Pizza hot.
Notes
- Make sure you cook in low flame after the topping is added as the bottom may get burnt.
- You can arrange the topping keeping it in the tawa itself, but since I had to click stepwise I brought it back to my counter, then arranged clicked the steps then placed it on the tawa. I used my thin iron tawa so the heat was quick.
- Makes around 3-4 pizzas.
- Do not make very thin base, it may get burnt easily. Don’t make it thick it will be very hard and chewy.
- You can even add any other vegetable of your choice.
- I used Amul cube cheese
- Be creative and use your own topping idea, I have just given my suggestion.
