Go ahead and impress somebody today with this vegan pizza !!

 Ingredients :

Method :
  • To prepare the hummus spread, first pressure cook the chick peas till it turns soft. Blend the cooked chickpeas along with lime juice till it turns smooth and fluffy. Toss the salt and olive oil and mix well.
  • In a wok, heat olive oil. Add the sliced onions and toss till the oil gets coated evenly on the onions. Keep tossing and let it get roasted nicely. Add a pinch of sugar to help in caramelising. Keep roasting, taking care they don't get burnt.
