THAI PIZZA

Recently when I visited Pizza Hut with my friend, one of my friend ask me a question, "Can we imagine a pizza without Cheese?". We all wondered and stared at him with a question mark. Later that day I searched net on this and amazingly I came across this dish of Thai Pizza. A cheese free pizza with peanut butter and tomato sauce topped with sesame seeds and garlic flavoured mushrooms, spring onions, paneer, celery and capsicum. I would like to share this dish with all of you guys who seeks answer to the question, "Cheese less Pizza?"
