Some quick tips for Tawa Pizza

It would be better if you will prepare the dough 1 night before you're planning to make pizza. Otherwise you can use dry yeast/ baking soda and baking powder for instant results.

While making the Pizza sauce, cook the sauce till it's partially dry otherwise it'll make our pizza soggy.

Prick the pizza base you've prepared before putting it on the pan otherwise the base will puff up. Nor will it be crispy neither would have form of a pizza.

Grease the sides of the pizza base with butter after placing it in flat pan (tawa) to cook it nicely from sides.
