Idli Pizza
Idlizza – Idli Pizza – Recipe for a delicious pizza made using idli as a base and a classic tomato chutney as pizza sauce. Finished with toppings, cheese and roasted on a tawa.

This is a fun dish to make and a totally doable recipe even for a beginner using ingredients you will normally find in a Tamil / south Indian kitchen. I have used the regular processed cheese for making this recipe. You do not need any fancy cheese. Regular Amul cheese that you can get in almost all departmental stores will work perfectly well in this recipe.

I have made the recipe completely on the gas stove and made it as a tawa pizza. You do not require oven for making this recipe.

The sauce is a very south Indianish chutney that suits well for the idli as the base. Any tomato based thick chutney that we usually serve with idli and dosai will work well for this recipe.
I have used a bamboo steamer for steaming the idlis – the pizza base. The same can be steamed in an idiyappam plate too. Or even a plain plate will work. Just improvise on what you can find in your kitchen.
