What better than Pizza on a holiday? Kids and adults equally enjoy it. In our house, for every Indian independence day (August 15th) and Republic Day (January 26th), we try to make something in tri-colour to make the day special.

Similarly this year my son suggested making tri-colour Pizza since we had just bought Pizza Base. So we started making it with whatever ingredients were at home. I made Pizza using store bought Pizza base and Sauce. So the recipe was quick and simple to make. I’ve used Carrot, Olives, Capsicum and Jalapenos today. You can use spinach, red capsicum if you have. Similarly you can make the chakra in the middle with black olives if you have. It’s all based on individual preference and ingredient availability. Do try it out.
