Cooking Steps
Step 1 : To make the peas filling
Add 1 tsp olive oil and butter to a pan. Add in 1 chopped onion, 1 tbsp minced garlic and fry till the onions turn pink.
Step 2 :
Add the peas next along with chilli flakes, salt and pepper. Keep cooking till the peas soften.
Step 3 :
Remove from heat, let the mixture cool and crush the peas to give them a mushy texture.
Step 4 :
Lastly, sprinkle 1 tsp grated cheese over the mixture.
Step 5 : To prepare the cream cheese filling
Mix 1/2 cup cream cheese, 1/4 cup soften butter, garlic powder, pizza seasoning, salt and pepper in a bowl.
Step 6 : For the carrot tofu filling
Stir-fry the carrots, 1 onion and 1 tbsp minced garlic in a little bit of olive oil, until caramelized. Add a few tablespoons of water.
Step 7 :
Put in the mashed tofu next and season with salt, pepper, cilantro and a squeeze of lemon juice. Simmer for 10 minutes.
Step 8 : To make the mozzarella sheets
In a pan, preferably non-stick, add milk and bring it to a boil.
Step 9 :
Then, add the fine semolina and salt, stirring constantly with a spatula until it is well mixed and slightly thickened.
Step 10 :
This will take around 2-3 minutes. Reduce the heat and add the grated mozzarella cheese.
Step 11 :
Keep stirring fast and mix well over low to medium heat until the cheese has melted and the mixture forms a soft dough.
Step 12 :
Allow to cool until the mixture is warm enough to handle.
Step 13 :
Roll the dough till 3 mm thickness on a greased cling film or a silicon rolling sheet. Before rolling, the top of the dough must also be smeared with a bit of oil.
Step 14 :
Cut out rectangles or squares of desired size with the help of a pizza cutter. For this recipe, four mozzarella sheets are required.
Step 15 :
Before you start layering, prepare the fried cheese cubes and cheesy tomato sauce, and keep them ready.
Step 16 :
Cut the two cheese cubes into smaller ones. Add Pizza seasoning, salt and cornflour to breadcrumbs and mix them together.
Step 17 :
Coat the cheese cubes with this mixture and deep fry them. It takes hardly a few seconds for the cubes to turn brown, so be sure not to burn them.
Step 18 :
For the sauce, take two tbsp of the cream cheese filling, and mix well with one grated and melted cheese cube and a tablespoon of hot and sweet tomato sauce.
Step 19 :
Cover it with the second sheet. Spread the cream cheese filling to make the second layer.
Step 20 :
Place the third sheet on the cream cheese filling and spread the carrot tofu filling all over it.
Step 21 :
The final layer of mozzarella sheet over the tofu filling should be topped with the cheesy tomato sauce and a few fried cheese cubes, crushed and lined in the middle.
Step 22 :
Use the rest of the fried cheese cubes for garnishing the way you want.
Step 23 :
Sprinkle some cilantro leaves on the crushed cheese cubes to give the final touch.
