Tawa Pizza is no different from oven baked pizza. Even in terms of taste you can challenge any readymade pizza corner. From the pizza sauce, base, cream cheese to the seasoning everything has been made at home. I made two small sized pizzas for two adults.

Homemade Tawa Pizza Recipe: The Procedure
Like I said earlier, every part of this recipe is homemade. You must think the prep took a lot of time, but trust me it didn’t. I did it all with the few hours I could manage after coming back from office. At length, to dry the basil leaves (for preparing the seasoning), you may need to keep it under the sun for more than a day. The whole procedure is extremely easy and the taste is more splendidly rewarding.

Tips for making the dish:
1. If you want a crusty base then do not add baking powder to the pizza base.
2. If you are adding chicken toppings to the pizza, please ensure that the chicken pieces are not deep fried initially. Since you need to put bake it along with the pizza base and sauce in the end.
