Frequently Asked Questions

How do I cook pizza on the stove without burning the base?

Use a heavy-bottomed pan or tawa, keep the flame low and cover with a lid so the cheese melts from the trapped heat. It usually takes 8 to 10 minutes.

Why cook the chicken before putting it on the pizza?

Raw chicken won't cook through in the time the pizza takes. Cooking it dry with the spices first also keeps the base from getting soggy.
