suji ka pizza recipe | rava pizza | semolina pizza | sooji pizza with detailed photo and video recipe. an interesting and tasty our own pizza recipe made with semolina base with the common pizza toppings. the recipe is typically made as a healthy alternative to the traditional one which is made with plain flour or with wheat flour. moreover, the pizza recipes are typically baked in a wood-fired or electric oven, but for the masses, this recipe is made on tawa using gas cook-top.
as i mentioned earlier, pizza recipes are not native to indian cuisine but have been widely accepted and appreciated. however, there are a lot of issues and problems with the recipe preparation and also with health aspects. with respect to preparation, the traditional pizza recipes are made on the oven which is not something common across indian kitchen. hence to solve this problem, i have posted this recipe on the non-stick pan in a gas stove cook-top. basically i have used slow flame and covered the tawa with a lid which simulates oven environment. with respect to the use of maida, i have used semolina or upma rava which not only makes it healthy but also a tasty alternative. moreover, it also makes pizza crispy and hard similar to thin-crust pizza.
furthermore, before wrapping up the recipe post, some important tips, suggestions and variations to suji ka pizza recipe. firstly, i would heavily recommend using medium-sized semolina or bombay rava and do not attempt this recipe with fine or bansi rava. you would not be able to shape it with other alternatives and hence medium is best suited for this recipe. secondly, the vegetable toppings on top of this recipe are open-ended and you can use as per your preference. but ensure to chop the veggies finely and also do not overcrowd the toppings. lastly, to get a gooey pizza texture, i would recommend using full cream mozzarella cheese. alternatively, you can also use a combination of mozzarella and cheddar cheese for best results.
