    This pizza is so easy to make with left over Chapli Kebab’s with the cheesy topping….nobody could resist. I added dried Italian herbs to the pizza base and that gave a subtle Italian flavor with the Pakistani flavored topping. And just followed my heart to a logical conclusion. I took the shortcut and used the Chili Garlic sauce in place of pizza sauce and lessen cheese to keep it healthy and low fat( you can add more cheese). Well… I needn’t explain what the result was. The recipe finding its place in this blog itself says it all….. Right???

    It’s the age of one pot meal and who says one pot meal has to be a rice dish. It can be bread based dish as well. I believe wraps or rolls loaded with meat, kebabs and veggies also come in the genre of one pot meal and why not, bread gives us starch while veggies help bring a balance diet while meat gives us protein.

    The best thing about it is, that its a wholesome meal and can be prepared with leftover kebab’s too. Its as simple as assembling it all together (if that makes sense).
