Failed Attempt In Making Pizza In Microwave
Living in a middle-class Indian household often means trying to make junk food healthy at home. I am fairly certain that most of you will be able to relate to it.
In my childhood, I lived in a joint family and my elder cousins and mother tried their hands on making pizza at home. Not only that it involved healthy pizza and since we did not have a microwave at that time there was a hit and trial to find the right utensil to make a pizza that my siblings and cousins could consider if not equivalent to restaurant-style pizza but a decent one. We discovered pizza could be cooked on a non-stick pan by covering it with a plate or some other deep utensil and baati cooker (for those who do not know, baati is a Rajasthani cuisine served with dal and churma) being the best utensil to cook it well.
So, old school me did not know how to make it in the microwave and tried to experiment with making pizza in the oven with a friend. Expectantly, we failed miserably and wasted two readymade pizza bases, ending up looking for options on YouTube. Even after following a tutorial it did not work, and then we mixed up two approaches, and finally, it turned out soft and crisp just like the one served in a fancy restaurant. And there was a catch, in the one cooked in the microwave, we did not use the curry paste as used in my childhood, rather we used raw vegetables including capsicum, onion, and boiled sweet corn.
I wonder how my parent's generation knew the solution for everything they wished to get in life from cooking to craft. They have all the solutions, you name it and they will nail it.
