Hyderabadi Lomo Saltado Pizza

Ingredients

In the original Peruvian Lomo Saltado, the beef is stir-fried with soy sauce and vinegar, while the Hyderabadi version uses a blend of aromatic spices like cumin, coriander, and turmeric. The traditional pizza dough is replaced with a Hyderabadi-style dough, infused with these spices. The toppings also incorporate Hyderabadi flavors, with the addition of spices like garam masala and red chili powder.
