Ingredients
Pizza Base
Toppings
- 1 cup Soy Granules
- 1 cup Corn Kernels boiled
- 2 medium Onions thinly sliced
- 1 cup Mozzarella Cheese shredded
Pizza Sauce
For the Tawa
- 2 tbsp Butter
- 1 tsp Oregano dried
- Chili Flakes to taste
Instructions
- In a wok or large skillet, heat ½ teaspoon of oil over medium heat. Add one thinly sliced onion and a pinch of salt. Sauté until the onion softens and becomes translucent. This adds a touch of sweetness and depth to the pizza. Set the caramelized onions aside.
- In the same wok, add the soy granules and the remaining sliced onion. Sauté for a few minutes. Add the boiled corn kernels. Season with salt, chili flakes, and dried oregano. Cook for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until heated through. Set this mixture aside.
- To make the pizza sauce, blend the tomatoes and garlic cloves until smooth. In a clean wok or saucepan, heat ½ teaspoon oil over medium heat. Add the tomato-garlic puree. Stir in sugar, salt, chili flakes, and dried oregano. Simmer until the sauce thickens slightly, about 10-12 minutes.
- Heat a tawa or large skillet over medium heat. Melt the butter on the tawa. Place the pizza base on the hot tawa. Cook for a few minutes per side, or until golden brown and slightly crispy. This gives the pizza a wonderful texture.
- Remove the toasted pizza base from the tawa. Spread the pizza sauce evenly over the base. Top with the soy granule and corn mixture.
- Sprinkle mozzarella cheese generously over the toppings. Garnish with the caramelized onions. For a quicker melt, you can microwave the pizza for 2-3 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly. Finish with a sprinkle of dried oregano.
Recipe Notes
Good To Know
- For a crispier pizza base, preheat the tawa thoroughly and toast the base on one side before adding toppings. This prevents sogginess and adds a delicious crunch.
- To sneak in more nutrition, finely grate or mince vegetables like carrots, bell peppers, or spinach into the soya mixture. These blend in easily and boost the fiber and vitamin content without affecting the taste.
- For a dairy-free version, use plant-based mozzarella or cashew cheese, and brush the base lightly with olive oil mixed with garlic powder for extra flavor depth.
- After assembling the pizza, cover it with a lid while cooking on the tawa. This helps the cheese melt evenly and ensures the toppings are cooked through without burning the base.
Expert Tips
- Customize your pizza with a variety of toppings. Consider using different cheeses, fresh herbs, or even a sprinkle of red pepper flakes for a touch of heat.
- If using a pre-made pizza base, ensure it's at room temperature before placing it on the hot tawa for even cooking.
- Don't overcrowd the pizza with toppings, as this can make it difficult to cook evenly.
Storage Instructions
- Leftover pizza can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
- Reheat slices in a preheated oven or on a skillet over medium heat until warmed through and the cheese is melted.
