Preparation (of chicken)

~Cook chicken in pressure cooker with 1 cup water  & chilly powder, turmeric powder, salt & soya sauce. (3 whistles)
~Keep aside 4 tbsp of the stock  (water of the cooked chicken)
~Let it cool & shred them..not into very thin pieces.

~Else you can use 3 to 4 pieces from any chicken curry you have at home along with 4 tbsp of its gravy too..
~I have tried that too...its equally tasty..Just no need to add coriander powder...

Preparation (of topping)

~Heat oil in a kadai & saute ginger & garlic for 1min.
~Now add chopped onions with salt & saute till transparent.
~Add green chilly & saute for 1 min.
~Add carrot & potato & mix well & cook for 3 mins (stir occasionally)
~Add the shredded chicken & mix well.
~Add the stock or the gravy from chicken curry.
~If using stock add coriander powder.
~Check the salt & spice & adjust salt & chilly powder accordingly..
~Add coriander leaves & cook for 1 min & remove from flame.

Preparation (of base)

~Mix maida, water & salt into a thick batter in a bowl.

~If you don't have double cream at home just use milk instead.
~Just boil milk in a saucepan for a longer time so that it becomes little thicker...it turns to 2 tbsp.

~In another bowl crack the egg along with double cream/prepared milk with salt & beat lightly& keep aside.

Preparation (of pizza)

~Heat a non-stick fry pan.
~Pour maida mix carefully into the centre of the pan into a medium round structure.
~The maida mix will spread itself when poured.
~Cook one side in medium flame for 2 mins & flip over.
~Now reduce the flame & pour 1 tsp of egg mix over the cooked part & spread it evenly with a spoon.
~Add required amount of chicken topping on top of this evenly.
~Again add 1/2 tsp of egg mix on top of the chicken mix & cook for 1 or 2 mins.
~Transfer carefully the cooked pizza to a serving plate.

~Top the pizza with little olive oil & tomato ketchup..
~Can also top it with sliced capsicum & grated cheese..
~Cut it into 4 pieces & serve.. 

Just sit back & enjoyyy this juicyy finger-licking recipe..!!!
