Tips & Tricks for Perfect Desi Dal Pizza Delight

uJUMP TO RECIPE

Use a thick batter to ensure the base holds toppings well. Keep the flame low after flipping to avoid burning. Use a lid to trap heat and melt the cheese evenly. For extra crunch, sauté veggies lightly before adding. You can replace mozzarella with vegan cheese for a dairy-free option. Pre-soaking moong dal overnight ensures a smooth batter and faster cooking. Add a spoon of rice flour for a crispier base if desired.
