Veg Pan Pizza

Introduction:
Pizza is basically an italian food But it's widely popular all over the world. Youths are crazy about Pizzas in all cities and even i'ma big fan of it. I used to have pizza made by pizza hut or dominos. but dammnn........the place where i'm currently living doesn't have any pizza center nearby. I have to travel a 2 hour distance if i want to eat pizza. So I tried to make pizza at home and that too even without baking it. I swear, it tasted heavenly and satisfied all my taste buds.I'll tell you the arrangement I used, to roast the pizza and i think it's a great way to make pizza at home.

Ingredients:
Pizza base: 2
Pizza cheese: 1 pack
Mayonese: 6 tsp
Onions: 2(sliced)
Tomatoes: 2(sliced)
Cabbage: chopped
Capsicum: chopped
black olives: chopped
black and white pepper powder: 1/2 tsp each
Oil: 1 tsp
butter: 2tsp
salt: to taste
Tomato ketchup: 4 tsp

Serves for: 2 persons
Preperation time: 15 mins
Cooking time :25 mins

Method:
First of all, cut all the vegetables in a same shapa. slice the onions, tomatoes and capsicum and cabbage. heat 1 tsp of oil and add onions to it. saute for a min. add capsicum and cabbage. saute for 4-5 mins till the vegetables get softened. I'm cooking the vegetables seperately so that it'll take less time for the pizza to get cooked. You can place the veggies directly over pizza if you don't mind slightly raw taste of vegetables.
Now take the pizza base. Spred mayonese over it. then place a layer of tomato ketchup. now spread all the vegetables. spread tomatoes over it. Grate the pizza chesse and spread all over the pizza. sprinkle salt , black and white pepper powder.
Now comes how to cook the pizza. very simple............... you take the usual tawa which we use to make chapatis. put it on gas and heat it. Now take another flat bottom pan which you usually use for cooking vegetables. Place the pan on heated tawa. Now add a tsp of butter in the pan and let it melt. Now place the pizza in the pan with the toppings upside. Cover the pan with another plate or lid. Cook the pizza for 10 mins on low flame. Remove the lid and check if the cheese has melted. If not then cook for another 5-10 mins till the whole cheese is melted.
When pizza is cooked, take it out of the pan and cut into pieces with a knife or pizza cutter. Enjoy the delicious Veg pan pizza at home any time.

TIPS:
1. Do not cook the pizza directly on tawa. It may get  burnt. The idea of using the another pan is that the pizza will not get the direct heat and covering it will make a perfect baking surroundings around it.
2. The topping of pizza may vary according to your taste. you can make it simple onion pizza or chilli capsicum pizza or any flavour you have ever tried.
3. Instead of mayonese, pizza sauce can also be used.
