Street Pizza Recipe, Mumbai Roadside Tawa Pizza
by Tarla Dalal
Try this pizza for a dose of local fun! It is nothing like the exotic pizzas made at popular pizzerias, but this type of pizza made by roadside vendors has become really very popular.
The Street Pizza is also made very easily using a tava with readymade pizza bases, common veggies like tomatoes and onions, and snazzy sauces and chutneys like tomato ketchup and green chutney.
It has a nice, desi taste and is lots of fun! It is important to cook the assembled pizza on a slow flame, so that there is enough time for the veggies to cook and the cheese to melt without burning the base.
You can also try other roadside recipes like the Mysore Masala Dosa or Pani Puri .
