For the Pizza Sauce

For the Pizza Sauce, clean, wash and remove the eyes of the tomatoes. You do not want them in your pizza sauce.
Make a criss-cross on the base of each tomato using a sharp knife. Make sure you use tomatoes that are firm and red in colour.
Meanwhile, keep the water for boiling in a deep pan.
Place the tomatoes in boiling water for 2 to 3 minutes or till the skin begins to peel.
Drain the tomatoes using a strainer.

Cool slightly and peel, they will peel easily because of the criss cross that was made at the base of the tomatoes.
Cut them into 2 and deseed them using a sharp knife. Removing the seeds not only ensures a smooth puree, but also ensures that the sourness of the tomatoes reduces.
Roughly chop them.
Transfer to a blender.
Blend in a mixer till smooth. Use a big mixer jar and not the small one as when you will blend it will overflow. Keep aside.

In a broad non-stick pan, heat the olive oil. Olive oil is used in all Italian recipes as it taste really great. Add the garlic. You can also use the paste if you have it ready but finely chopped always gives a better taste and good mouthfeel. If you are jain, you can learn how to make Jain Pizza Sauce.
Sauté on a medium flame for a few seconds.
Add the onions.
Sauté on a medium flame for 1 to 2 minutes.
Add the prepared tomato pulp.

Add the oregano. If you wish you can also add mixed herbs.
Add the chilli flakes.
Add the tomato ketchup. This gives a little colour and sweetness to the sauce.
Add the chilli powder and salt. Chilli powder is added to give more colour and spiceness.
Mix the Pizza Sauce (Quick Pizza Sauce) well and cook on a medium flame for 2 to 3 minutes stir it in between. Make sure you are careful of the spluttering that happens of the tomatoes.

Cook the pizza sauce on a medium flame for 1 to 2 minutes, while stirring occasionally. Keep aside.

Ma''am, Why don''t you create a folder where you get all PCOS recipes in a flow or in continuing pages. Also, try showing recipes with low proteins as I have been advised by doctors to cut down on proteins. Beans and the like are a total no for me. Kindly also let me know that Bajra and moong khichdi even after soaking Bajra for more than 12 hours and pressure cooked for more than 40 minutes with more than 10 whistles, Bajra was still not chewable. Any option to Bajra if you could suggest

Dear Apeksha Here''s the link for recipes for PCOS https://www.tarladalal.com/recipes-for-PCOS-1040 If you have tried the below recipe of Bajra and Moong Dal Khichdi, since whole bajra has been used it will remain slightly chewy. https://www.tarladalal.com/Bajra-and-Moong-Dal-Khichdi-2984r

Without cheese and refined flour pizza base, this pizza tasted awesome.... The true flavours are from the pizza sauce while the oats and wheat flour pizza base does not let you miss out on that crunchiness we look for in pizzas. Do try coloured capsicum only instead of only green capsicum as red and yellow capsicum lend a specific sweetness to these pizzas.
