Did you know
Pepperoni is possibly one of the most popular Pizza toppings across the globe?
Today I am going to make one of it's kind
Pizza Pepperonis for you.
Hey guys! This is me the Bombay Chef Varun Inamdar
and welcome to 'Get Curried'
Pepperonis are possibly one of the most favorite toppings for all Pizza lovers
and the go-to place in India is Blue Tribe
that gets you India's first planet-based Pepperoni.
With taste and health that goes hand in hand
let's have some fun.
Now here's something that's important for all of you to know
this is the packet that is generally frozen.
You need to pull this out of the deep freezer
and keep it in the refrigerator for at least 45 minutes to an hour.
so that this thaws completely.
Well, I have done that.
The next step now is to straight make the Pizza sauce, let's do that.
For this, what I am going to do is, take ripe red Tomatoes
cut the caps off, and then cut them roughly.
The whole idea is to make an Indianised sauce
for the Pizza.
Once the cutting is done
all of this gets transferred into a blender jar.
The next that goes in
some cloves of Garlic.
The next is to add in some herbs, now in this case, I am adding in
dried Thyme, I am adding in dried Oregano and I am also adding in fresh Basil
little bit of Sugar, little bit of Chilli Flakes, Salt
like a complete package in the blender
before it hits the pan.
Grain Sugar,
Dried Oregano,
Chilli Flakes,
Fresh Basil Leaves,
and finally Salt as required.
Let's cover this
and grind this into a fine Puree.
Tomato Puree is done and ready
the next step is to cook this.
Let's begin with a little bit of Oil
and before that begins to heat
I am going to add in the Puree.
At this point in time, it looks pale orange
but as this starts cooking
and this will take roughly around 4-5 minutes to cook beautifully well
it will become nice bright red in color.
Exactly like a Pizza sauce.
The sauce has been cooking on a high flame
for roughly around 5-6 minutes.
It has reduced, it has become nice dense, and flavorful.
With this, off goes the flame
and the sauce gets transferred in a bowl.
Here I have some ready whole Wheat Pizza Base with me.
I am going to smear our Tomato sauce on top of this.
I am going to top this up with Vegan Pizza Cheese.
Let me now top this up with Pepperoni.
Let me add another thing about Blue Tribe's Pepperoni.
This is the only plant based Pepperoni in India
and let me also add that this is just like the non-vegetarian version.
If not healthier and better.
I would suggest, grab your packets quickly before they run out.

The next step is to, of course, bake the Pizza
for which I am using actually a grill pan.
Let's very gently lift the Pizza
and place it in the pan
but before that
just a few drops of Oil.
Just turn the Pizza around
so that the Oil gets smeared.
Finally, we cover the Pizza
and cook this on medium flame for 3 minutes.
With this, off goes the flame
let's have a quick check.
Let's transfer this onto the cutting board.
Time to cut this.
And add in
some fresh Basil Leaves.
With this, your plant-based Pepperoni Pizza is done and ready.
You can make this at a party
or enjoy it all by yourself just like me.
Also, introduce yourself to this stunning range
by Blue Tribe and enjoy
this guilt-free treat!
