Popular Central Asian pizza like dish, is mainly a big hit in Punjabi rural areas and Lahore. Basically, a street food and is a gigantic flat bread,covered in chilli paste and then deep fried. However I opted for a less oily version by shallow frying it. Fondly called as the poor man's pizza, it is sold in kilos and suffices a poor man's hungry family often. Try this amazing bread version to experience an economical pizza that too with a great taste and even the looks.

  • Also, add the kasoori methi if desired. I did that to make it more tastier. Use oil equally between two katlamas.

  • When one side is golden and crisp, flip it to cook the side with the tomato paste. It takes around 2 to 3 mins for the plain side to cook and 3 mins for the side with the tomato paste.

Notes

Red food colour is optional. Use kashmiri chilli powder for a bright red colour as i did. I did not use any artificial food colour. Urad dal or blackgram soaked well (and drained) and anardana powder also can be used as toppings.
