How to Make Roti Pizza: Step by Step
Transforming a simple roti into a cheesy, crispy pizza is easier than you think! Follow these steps to whip up a delicious Roti Pizza at home in just a few minutes, perfect for quick dinners, snack-time cravings, or even a kid-friendly lunchbox treat.
-
Prepare the Roti Base
Start by placing a roti or chapati on a hot tawa (griddle). Lightly roast one side for 30–40 seconds until it firms up slightly. Then, flip it to the other side. If you’re using a Rotimatic, you’ll already have perfectly round and evenly cooked rotis ready to go, no extra effort needed.
-
Spread the Sauce
Once one side is slightly crisp, turn off the flame and remove the roti. On the roasted side, spread 2–3 tablespoons of pizza sauce evenly. For a desi twist, you can mix tomato ketchup with green chutney or Maggi Hot & Sweet Sauce; it gives a tangy, spicy flavor that pairs beautifully with Indian toppings.
-
Add Vegetables & Protein
Now, layer on your toppings. Add onion rings, capsicum, tomato slices, and sweet corn for a classic veggie pizza flavor.
For extra protein, top with paneer cubes, shredded chicken, or boiled egg slices. Make sure toppings are evenly spread so every bite has a perfect mix of flavor.
-
Top with Cheese
Sprinkle grated mozzarella cheese generously over the toppings or place thin processed cheese slices to cover them. This is what gives your roti pizza that irresistible, gooey texture!
-
Season It Right
Add a pinch of oregano, chili flakes, or black pepper to enhance flavor. You can also experiment with Italian herbs like basil or thyme for a gourmet touch.
-
Melt the Cheese
Return the roti pizza to the hot tawa. Cover it with a lid and cook on a low flame for 2–3 minutes. This allows the cheese to melt evenly while the roti base turns crispy and golden.
-
Serve Hot
Once the cheese has melted and the base is crisp, remove the pizza from the pan. Slice it into wedges using a pizza cutter or knife and serve hot immediately. Pair with ketchup, green chutney, or a light salad on the side.

Can I make roti pizza without cheese?
Yes, you can. If you prefer a lighter or dairy-free option, skip the cheese and experiment with alternatives like crumbled paneer, hung curd, or vegan cheese. These still add richness and texture while keeping the pizza flavorful.
Can I bake instead of using a tawa?
Yes, absolutely. Simply bake the roti pizza at 180°C (350°F) for 5–7 minutes until the cheese melts and the edges of the roti turn slightly crisp. Baking gives a more even melt and a café-style finish, perfect for entertaining.
What’s the best roti for this recipe?
Use slightly thick rotis or leftover chapatis; they hold toppings better and stay crisp without turning soggy. If your rotis are too thin, try doubling them up or lightly roasting them before adding toppings.
Can I use Rotimatic roti for this?
Of course, Rotimatic produces soft, fresh rotis in minutes, giving you a perfect base every single time. The even texture and consistency make it ideal for recipes like roti pizza, saving you both time and effort.
Can I make sweet versions of roti pizza?
Definitely. For a fun dessert twist, try Nutella with banana slices, peanut butter with honey, or chocolate spread topped with crushed nuts. These no-fire, no-fuss treats are perfect for kids or when your sweet tooth strikes.
