Pizzas, in all sizes and forms, are a family favourite at home. I enjoy experimenting with different bases and toppings, so the family don’t get bored with the usual traditional pizzas.
I love to try out new flavour combinations, especially with middle eastern spices. These spices are so mild yet so flavourful and aromatic.
This flatbread idea was used as an appetizer for Iftar during the month of Ramadan. You could serve it as a light lunch or a starter at dinner. The family enjoyed it thoroughly and the combination of flavours worked well together.
This ‘pizza’ uses a naan flatbread as a base, hummus as the base sauce and a yummy fried chickpea topping. If you are vegetarian, you could omit the chicken. No cheese on this pizza, which makes it dairy free as well.
