Ingredients

• Sama Chawal (Barnyard Millet): 2 cups
• Urad Dal (White): 1 cup
• Methi Daana (Fenugreek Seeds): A small pinch
• Cold pressed organic coconut oil: for greasing
• Rock salt as per taste
• Oregano Seasoning: 1 tsp or as per taste
• Mixed Herb Seasoning: 1 tsp or as per taste
• For the Sauce and Cheese

  • Tomatoes: 6 (chopped)

  • Gur (Jaggery) according to taste

  • Red chilli powder: as desired

  • Rock salt as per taste

  • Cashews: 2 handful (soaked for about 2 hours)

• For the topping

  • Bell Pepper: 1 (finely chopped)

  • Onion: 1 (finely chopped)

  • Capsicum: 1 (finely chopped)

  • Baby corns: 7-8 (chopped into small pieces)

  • Oregano Seasoning: as desired

Method

• Soak 2 portions of sama chawal, 1 portion of urad dal and few fenugreek seeds together overnight. In the morning grind them to fine paste; add salt to it as per your taste and mix the batter well.
• Grease 3-4 stainless steel plates with cold pressed coconut oil and spread evenly.
• Now pour 2 spoons of the sama rice-dal batter in these plates and spread evenly on the plate surface.
• Add 1 or 2 teaspoons of oregano seasoning and mixed herb seasoning over the batter spread on the plate.
• Place the plates in a steamer stand and steam it for 15 minutes.
• To prepare the sauce, grind one portion of cut tomatoes and red chilli powder and make it a paste.
• Cook the tomato paste with the remaining portion of the tomatoes in a wok.
• Add salt to the paste, add gur to get the tangy taste and cook the paste well till all the water dries up and your sauce is ready now.
• Remove the pizza base from the steamer using a knife. Gently roll the plate while holding the knife at the bottom of the pizza base so that the base is recovered completely without any crack.
• For toppings, cut all the veggies such as onions, capsicum and baby corns.
• For cheese, grind the soaked cashews with a pinch of salt. Add very little water to maintain thick consistency.
• Cut the pizza base into four quarters and start spreading the tomato sauce on each of these pieces.
• Place the cut veggies over the sauce.
• Spread 1-2 spoons of cashew paste over the veggies and sprinkle some oregano flakes over it.
• Toast these pizza pieces in a tawa and wait until the cashew cheese melts.
• For the baked version, do not cut the pizza base, rather add all the ingredients mentioned above over the full base and bake in the oven for 10 min at 150 degree celsius.

Yummy grain free dairy free Vegan pizza is ready!!!

Eating guide

• Food Group: Millets & Legumes
• Millets (like sama rice) are gluten free, rich in fibre and high on nutritional value. They are a good option to add variety to your meals or when you want to go grain free.
• Legumes are natural foods, which provide the much needed material for growth and repair.
