PIZZA

I would like to share a quick snack recipe when you have a Pizza base / Tortilla , Mozzarella cheese with you and of course some of the basic pizza making ingredients with you









Ingredients : 

Pizza base / Tortilla - 1 
Tomato sauce - 2 tsp
Pizza Sauce - 2 tsp
Chilli flakes - a small packet (1 tsp - optional) (spicy version)
Oregano /Dried mixed herbs - 1 tsp 
Onions -julienne  - 1 number
Tomato - deseeded - 1 number 
Capsicum - 1/2 into small cubes 
Toppings - of your choice .I use cooked chicken or leftover dried chicken from curries , paneer (mixed with curd , turmeric , chilli powder , garam masala ) 
Mozzarella cheese - 1/2 cup or depends on your choice 

Cooking Process :

-Spread the tomato /pizza sauce over the base or tortilla 
-Sprinkle some chilli flakes and oregano/dried herbs on the base 
-Grate some cheese just to cover the entire base lightly
-Assemble the vegetables mentioned above in layers and top it with your toppings 
-Sprinkle chilli flakes , oregano on top 
-Now completely cover it by Grating the mozzarella cheese . Top it completely if you really don't bother about calories ;) 
-Bake for 5 to 10 minutes until the cheese is completely melted or mine I have a crisp mode and I turn it 90 Watts with crisp mode for 5 minutes . 

Tip : Keep the in freezer and take it and keep it out before 10 minutes of grating process . If the cheese is at room temperature it's really hard to grate and its breaks easily before you grate .Don't buy cheese slices as it doesn't  give good results with cheesy texture .
