Everyone loves pizzas. The pizza base is generally made up of wheat flour or all-purpose flour. But have you ever tried making the base out of cauliflower? It tastes yum! Do give it a try, a very healthy option and I am sure the kids would also enjoy it a lot.

Let us start cooking!!!


Ingredients:
Cauliflower: 300 gms
Water: 2 cups + 3 tbsp
Powdered Flax seeds: 1 tbsp
Oregano: ½ tsp
Red chili powder: ¼ tsp
Pizza sauce: 2 tbsp
Capsicum: 1 tbsp (thinly sliced)
Onion: 1 tbsp (thinly sliced)
Tomato: 1 tbsp (thinly sliced)
Processed Cheese: 1 cube (~15 gms, grated)
Oil for greasing the griddle
Salt as per taste

Method:
1. Mix 3 tbsp of water with flaxseeds and let it rest for about 8-10 minutes.





2. Grind the cauliflower florets into a grain like texture.





3. Boil 2 cups of water in a pan. Add salt. Add the ground cauliflower to it.




4. Let the cauliflower cook for about 6-7 minutes.
5. Drain out all the water and let the mixture cool.




6. Now squeeze all the water from the cauliflower by tying it in a cloth.
7. Mix together cauliflower, salt, flax seed paste, red chili powder, and oregano.





8. Apply oil and heat a griddle/tawa.
9. Evenly spread the mixture onto the tawa.




10. Let it cook on one side for about 7-8 minutes on slow flame. Then flip it and let it cook on the other side also for about 5-6 minutes. Be very careful while flipping it as the crust is very soft and might break.
11. The cauliflower crust is ready.
12. Take the pizza sauce and spread it evenly on the crust. Put onion, tomato, and capsicum upon it. And then spread grated cheese all over it.





13. Cover it and cook for about 10 more minutes or until the cheese melts.

Tips:
1. Do not grind the cauliflower too fine.

3. Instead of grinding you can finely grate the cauliflower.
