Indo Italian - Pav Bhaji Pizza

We all have heard of Pav Bhaji as the most relishing fast food in Mumbai. Noone makes pav bhaji as tasty as the hotels here in Mumbai. My favorites being 'Sardar Pav Bhaji' at Grant Road, Mumbai (he apparently was the one who invented the concept of pav bhaji). 
'Amul' butter should award him as their 'Best Consumer'. You will know why when you try a dish there. :)


Cooking pav bhaji at home is quite a task though when it comes to cutting veggies and the preparation time for bhaji.. Hence I decided to try something which is quick and in the process invented a new dish!
Bored of trying out the usual toppings on pizza.. I thought, why not combine the two cuisines.
Check what I made last nite for dinner.

Indo Pizza (Pav Bhaji Pizza)

Ingredients : 
2 Boiled & half mashed potatoes
Boiled small size cauliflower
Boiled Half of small cabbage
1 big grated onion
1 big grated tomato
1 medium capsicum chopped
5 to 6 crushed garlic cloves
1 tbsp red chilli powder
2 tbsp pav bhaji masala
Vegetable oil
Pizza Sauce
Pizza base
Cheese

Method :
  • In a bowl mix all the mentioned ingredients till pav bhaji masala.
  • On a pizza base spread 1tsp oil.
  • Spread the pizza sauce (I used Smith & Jones Pizza Sauce)
  • Spread the prepared mixture of veggies.
  • Grate the cheese on top & bake it as you would bake the usual pizza.
Voila..! its ready to eat. My hubby loved the new combination. 
Do write me the ooh aah..s ..! from your dear ones after you try this.
