We love pizza! But we cut down pizza from our diet due to the fact that it is not always healthy. But what if there is a solution to this?
Recently, dietitian Sai Mahima took to Instagram to share a healthier version of the much adored pizza and named it Hara Bhara Pizza.
For the pizza, the ingredients required are besan, spinach leaves, ginger, spring onion, tomato, paneer and spices like oregano, salt and black pepper.
The first step is to prepare the base of the pizza. For the base you need to prepare a smooth paste of besan, palak and water. The consistency of this base should not be too watery. It should not be too thick either. Mahima has shared the video where you can check the consistency of the batter.
