TOFU PIZZA

The Tofu Pizza  is inspired by my son's love of bird's eye chili. It is now a staple in our household. We are now shifting to using them almost in all our our dishes.

This is especially made to his liking that includes bird's eye chili and tofu as its topping. Addition of chili really enhance the taste of this healthy pizza but this is entirely up to your preference.

If you are not a fan of bird's  eye chili replace it with paprika or black pepper.

You can also include other veggies such as thinly sliced broccoli florets , shredded carrot or mushroom. Despite its simplicity Tofu Pizza turns out fabulous and very tasty. They are now become my family favorite pizza.
