  • Bell peppers — Choose bell peppers of different colors to add vibrancy to the pizza.
  • Mozzarella cheese — For a vegan version, use vegan cheese or substitute with dairy-free cheese.

Tips & Tricks

  • For an extra kick of spice, add finely chopped green chilies to the tomato sauce.
  • Experiment with different Bhojpuri spices like mustard seeds or fenugreek leaves for added flavor.
  • Customize the toppings by adding other vegetables commonly used in Bhojpuri cuisine, such as eggplant or okra.
  • Serve the pizza with a side of tangy tamarind chutney for an authentic Bhojpuri experience.
  • If you prefer a softer crust, brush the edges of the pizza dough with olive oil before baking.
