Gojju Pizza



Bought Mia Pizza Crust from Costco, was a big flop with my kids so made goggu pizza instead. Now the kids want it too :-)

Ingredients for Seasoning:
Mustars Seeds - 2 tsp
Hing (optional, available at Indian Stores) - a pinch
Curry leaves  - 2 sprigs
Turmeric powder - 1 tsp

Main Ingredients:
Tomatoes - 5 , chopped fine
Red Onion - 1, chopped fine 
Green Serrano Chillies - 2, chopped fine
Tamarind - 1 tbsp
Coriander leaves chopped - 1 tbsp
Jaggery - 1 tbsp
Rasam powder(available at Indian Grocery Stores) - 1 tbsp
Salt per taste

1. First prepare seasoning in oil - heat oil, add mustard and after it splutters in oil, add hing, curry leaves and turmeric.
2.  Add chopped onions to the seasoned oil
3.  After a few minutes add chopped tomatoes and green chillies
4.  Add a little water, tamarind, salt, jaggery, boil.
5.  After a  few minutes, add rasam powder and continue to boil till it is thick.
6.  Pizza usually comes with a packet of tomato based pizza sauce, add this and wait till the mixture is thick.
7.  Pour the tomato onion mixture over the crust.
8.  For the topping:  slice a fresh tomato into thin slices, add some fresh parmesan cheese and baked at 425 degrees for 7 mins. Enjoy!

Note/Tip:
Gojju can be made with other vegetables like Capsicum, Okra. I think Capsicum will be good on a pizza but not too sure about Okra.  If you are making only gojju by itself, add dessicated coconut at the very end and mix well. Gojju goes well with rice and akki rotti also.
