- Experiment with different vegetable toppings like mushrooms, spinach, or corn to suit your taste.
- If you prefer a thicker crust, let the dough rise for a longer time before baking.

- Leftover pizza can be reheated in a preheated oven at 180°C (350°F) for 5-10 minutes.
Serving advice
Serve the Spicy Masala Pizza hot, straight from the oven. Cut it into slices and serve it as a main course or as a party appetizer. Pair it with a side of mint chutney or yogurt raita for a cooling contrast to the spicy flavors.
Presentation advice
To enhance the presentation, sprinkle some chopped fresh cilantro on top of the pizza before serving. You can also drizzle a swirl of mint chutney or tamarind chutney over the pizza for added visual appeal.
