Pizza are very popular these days across India, especially with a younger audience. However, there are numerous concerns about the health aspects as it is mainly made with plain flour which in turn may indigestion issues. To solve these issues, there is a healthy alternative made with semolina or suji dough known as Rava or Suji Pizza recipe.
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 or pan with a lid which simulates oven environment. I have used semolina or suji which is not only makes it healthy but also a tasty alternative. Moreover, it also makes pizza crispy and hard similar to thin-crust pizza with healthy taste.
