Basket Pizza is an Italian and Indian fusion snack: a mix of basket chaat and pizza, which is why I call it basket pizza. Crunchy basket puris are filled with pizza sauce, capsicum, tomato, onion and sweet corn, topped with grated cheese and finished with oregano and chilli flakes.
It is a quick, bite-sized snack made in very little time, so it is perfect for parties, for guests or just to pamper your taste buds.
