Step-by-Step Instructions

Step 1: Prepare the Idlis

Take 4 pieces of leftover idli and arrange them on a plate.

Step 2: Apply Pizza Sauce

Spread about 1 tablespoon of pizza sauce evenly over the top surface of each idli.

Step 3: Add Mozzarella Cheese

Sprinkle a generous amount of shredded mozzarella cheese over the pizza sauce on each idli.

Step 4: Add Toppings - Onions

Distribute chopped onions over the cheese on each idli.

Step 5: Add Toppings - Green Pepper

Add chopped green pepper (capsicum) on top of the onions.

Step 6: Add Toppings - Corn

Sprinkle corn kernels over the green pepper.

Step 7: Add Toppings - Red Pepper

Add chopped red pepper (capsicum) to complete the colorful vegetable layer.

Step 8: Add Cilantro

Garnish with fresh chopped cilantro.

Step 9: Season with Oregano

Sprinkle oregano generously over all the idli pizzas.

Step 10: Season with Black Pepper

Add a dash of black pepper to taste.

Step 11: Season with Sambhar Masala

Sprinkle sambhar masala for an Indian fusion twist.

Step 12: Add More Cheese

Add a final layer of mozzarella cheese over the toppings.

Step 13: Prepare for Baking

Carefully transfer the prepared idli pizzas onto a baking tray lined with aluminum foil.

Step 14: Bake the Idli Pizzas

Bake in a preheated oven at 400°F (200°C) for about 5-7 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly and the idlis are slightly crispy.

Step 15: Serve

Once baked, carefully remove the idli pizzas from the tray and serve hot.

Pro Tips

Ensure idlis are at room temperature for best results.

Do not overload the idlis with toppings to ensure even cooking and crispiness.

Adjust the amount of spices like oregano, black pepper, and sambhar masala according to your taste preference.

Recipe Variations

Try adding other vegetables like mushrooms, olives, or bell peppers of different colors.

For a non-vegetarian option, add finely chopped cooked chicken or paneer.

Experiment with different sauces like pesto or a spicy chili sauce for a unique flavor.
