Pizza, as we know, is a flatbread topped with vegetables, meats and other condiments to produce something tempting. When you check the meaning of it in Wikipedia, you will find it as a main course served for Lunch or Dinner. However, in modern times, youngsters prefer it during their snack time. There are still others like bachelors, who finish off their dinner by ordering a large Pizza.
Other breakfast and snacks recipes you may like: Suji Kachori, Kalmi Vada, Besan Ka Chilla, Pav Bhaji, vegetable Poha Cutlet, Bread Uttapam, etc.
However, today the main focus is on Veg Pizza, so it is basically a call out to all the vegetarians out there. Being a vegetarian is not easy especially because preparing a veg dish takes a lot of time. Moreover, you get limited options when it comes to trying different cuisines. It is here when Veg Pizza comes to your rescue, particularly when you are health conscious and love experimenting different cuisines all by yourself. What is more? This recipe as penned down by me is quite easy to make and is for all those who do not have microwave ovens at home.
A satisfying aspect of this recipe is that I have made use of olive oil because I know how much important your health is to you. This Tawa Pizza is loaded with veggies like red bell pepper, yellow bell pepper, green capsicum and chopped onions. What can be better than a Pizza with a topping of veggies! To cut it off from blandness, I have added black olives that have a tangy flavour. To balance the sour taste, I have put sweet corns into it. So treat your taste buds to this mouth-watering recipe. J
The specialty of this Tawa Veg Pizza is that it has a crispy base and fluffy bread. For vegetarians, it is the best snack. Once tried, you would never want to go out on a Friday night to enjoy a fast-food. It is for leisurely evenings and Sundays when you want to have fun with your family.
My suggestion would be to add more vegetables and the ones of your choice to the topping. You will love it more than the non-veg Pizzas. The feeling of biting a fresh homemade pizza is heavenly. If you are pressed for time, try making them as a lunch box recipe. It hardly takes 10 minutes to prepare and 12 minutes to cook. For a family with four members, it is sufficient so cut slices of it and enjoy! J
