Pizza has been our comfort food ever since childhood, when weekend meant no classes in school and evening walks with papa, which would always end up in gorging toothsome pizzas. Yet after growing up, some of us can not cherish this delicious piece of cheesy happiness always because we do not have access to an oven in the home or the place where we are currently living.
Well, worry not, fellow pizza lovers! Here, we present the easy and simple homemade tawa pizza recipe that can be made within a couple of minutes and the best part is that for this you would not need an oven!
Often time, pizza has been accused as an unhealthy junk food for its restaurant version and we have been forbidden to indulge in one by our nutritionists. But now that we are here with a healthy rendition of this vegetarian bell pepper pizza, even your nutritionists can not say no to this gastronomical delight.
Also, there is a popular misconception that tawa pizza lacks the crispiness which you can only enjoy in its oven-baked form. But here lies the truth, the tawa pizza can be as crisp as an oven pizza, only the colour of the pizza can differ slightly from the one you get in restaurants.
Now, without any further adieu, let us guide you step by step on how to make this tawa baked goodness within a few minutes easily at home.
