Ingredients
For the Potato Crust
- 2 Large Potatoes thinly sliced
- 3 tbsp Oil
For the Egg Topping
- 4 Eggs
- 3 tbsp Coriander finely chopped
- 1 Chili finely chopped, green
- 1 1/2 tsp Salt or to taste
- 1/3 tsp Chili Powder red
- 1/4 tsp Turmeric Powder
- 1/4 tsp Oregano Flakes
- 1/4 tsp Baking Soda
Instructions
- Heat the oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the thinly sliced potatoes and shallow fry until lightly golden and slightly softened, but not completely cooked. This creates a crispy crust. Transfer the potatoes to a plate and set aside.
- In a mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, chopped cilantro, green chili, salt, red chili powder, turmeric powder, oregano flakes, and baking soda. The baking soda helps create a light and airy texture.
- Arrange the par-cooked potato slices in a single layer in the same skillet, overlapping slightly to form a round crust. Pour the egg mixture evenly over the potatoes.
- Reduce the heat to low, cover the skillet, and cook for about 5 minutes, or until the egg mixture is set and the bottom of the potato crust is golden brown. Covering the skillet traps the heat and ensures the eggs cook evenly.
- Once cooked, remove the potato pizza from the skillet. Cut into 4 triangle slices and serve hot. Enjoy!
Recipe Notes
Good To Know
- You can also add chopped onion, capsicum (bell pepper), and tomato to the batter to make a vegetable pizza.
- For an extra-crispy potato base, soak the thinly sliced potatoes in cold water for 10-15 minutes to remove excess starch, then pat them completely dry before assembling the pizza.
- If you prefer a vegetarian version without eggs, substitute with a chickpea flour (besan) batter, seasoned with the same spices, and pour over the potato base before baking or cooking.
- To add more Indian flavor, sprinkle a pinch of chaat masala over the pizza just before serving for enhanced tanginess and a classic street-food vibe.
- For a visually appealing presentation, garnish with finely chopped fresh mint or a drizzle of green chutney right before serving.
Expert Tips
- Experiment with different cheeses! While mozzarella is classic, try adding some crumbled paneer or a sprinkle of grated cheddar for a unique flavor profile.
- Don't overcrowd the pizza. Leave some space between toppings to ensure even cooking and a crispy crust.
- If using a pre-made potato base, lightly toast it in the oven or on a skillet before adding toppings to prevent it from becoming soggy.
Storage Instructions
- Leftover pizza can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat in a preheated oven or skillet until warmed through and crispy.
