Instructions

Lightly toast the pizza base in a pan with a little butter. This helps create a crispy crust.
Spread the rajma subji evenly over the toasted pizza base, leaving a small border for the crust.
Sprinkle the shredded mozzarella cheese generously over the rajma.
Season with pizza seasoning or dried basil for an extra layer of flavor.
Cover the pan with a lid and cook over medium heat until the cheese is melted and bubbly. This creates a gooey, satisfying texture.

Recipe Notes

Good To Know

For a creamier texture and more cohesive topping, lightly mash the cooked rajma before spreading it onto the pizza base, preventing it from rolling off when sliced.
Layer thin slices of red onion, bell peppers, or sweet corn over the rajma for added crunch, color, and nutrition, making the pizza more appealing and kid-friendly.
Drizzle a little makhani sauce or a swirl of yogurt mixed with chaat masala on the baked pizza for a subtle Indian flavor boost right before serving.
If making ahead, assemble the pizza but do not bake; store it covered in the refrigerator for up to 8 hours, then bake fresh just before serving for optimal texture.

Expert Tips

Use pre-made pizza dough for convenience, or try making your own for a truly personalized pizza experience.
Experiment with different cheeses! Mozzarella is classic, but feta or goat cheese can add a tangy twist.
Don't overload the pizza with toppings. Too much rajma or other ingredients can make the crust soggy.
