- Let the sautéed veggiescool down for some time.
- Time to uncover the batterafter 15 minutes! Since suji tends to absorb water, you will notice it tobecome slightly thick. So, add more water to it until it turns out moderatelythick and keep mixing till no lumps are left. Voila! The batter is ready!
- Now heat the pan on mediumflame prior to adding Eno.
- Take the batter and divideinto two equal parts. Into one of the parts, add ½ tsp of Eno/ soda and mix it.Try not to overmix, otherwise, the bubbly effect of Eno shall clear out and youshall lose out on the sponginess of the Pizza base.
- Now spread the batter allover the heated pan.
- Drizzle oil around thebatter and cook the base for 2-3 minutes on low-medium flame with the lid on.
- Uncover the lid and checkinside. You will observe that the colour of the side facing upwards has changedafter 2 minutes. At this point, flip the base and cook the other side for 2-3minutes until golden spots surfaces.
- When it does, you will knowyour Suji base is ready. Repeat the technique with another Suji base.
Instructions for Pizza:
