Yummilicious Healthy Pizza

Here's a simple, quick fix pizza...comfort food when you need it and super healthy at the same time!
What's more, you can cook it in a conventional oven, a combination of microwave + tava, or only a tava!! I used a combination of microwave and tava.

This is what my pizza looked like finally! :)



Ingredients:
1 pack whole wheat pizza base (I used Omega 3)
A pack of chilli flakes and oregano (This is available with Omega 3 pizza base, you can substitute accordingly)
Veggies - assorted, chopped similarly (bell peppers, sweet corn, carrot, onions, leeks...)
1 medium sized tomato, sliced thinly into roundels
Olives
Jalapeno slices
2-3 pods garlic, chopped into very fine pieces or flaked finely
2 teaspoons tomato sauce (I used DelMonte)
1 teaspoon red chilli sauce (I used Chings)
1 teaspoon mayonaisse (I used Remia Mayolite)

Method:
Mix the tomato sauce, red chilli sauce and mayo together, and spread on the pizza base. Top it with the tomato slices. Sprinkle chopped garlic, chilli flakes, and oregano over the tomato slices.
Microwave it at 650 deg C for 1 minute.
Top with the rest of the veggies and microwave for another minute. Top with olives and jalapeno slices/pieces.
Now, put it on a tava on medium flame till the base is crisp and brown.

Alternatively, you can bake it in an oven the regular way...you can even top it with loads of mozzarella.
To cook it on a tava, all you need to do is roast all the veggies and garlic in a pan beforehand and follow the same method.
