Pizza Dough:
In a mixing bowl, add the two flours, yeast, sugar and salt.
Add water and the olive oil and knead for 10 minutes,
Until the dough is smooth and elastic.

Lightly grease a bowl with the olive oil, put the dough and cover.
Set aside in a warm spot until the dough has almost doubled in volume. Divide dough into 2 equal portains.
Flatten out to form a dics. Use a rolling pin to stretch out the disc.
Use this as your base for the pizza.

PIZZA SAUCE
Heat the olive oil, add the garlic, onions, cinnamon stick, and cloves.
When the garlic browns , add in the mint leaves.
Fry for a minute, add in the tomatoes, and coriander leaves.
Fry for a second, add in the chillie and cumin powders.
Add salt and sauté well. Remove from the stove and cool.
Blend to a smooth paste.

Now spread the sauce over the pizza base.
Now add little of every thing of the toppins on the pizza.
Now sprinkle the grated mozzarella cheese on the pizza.
Bake in a oven pre heated to 400 deg., fah. Till the crust is crisp
And the cheese melts. Serve hot.


Note; I made thin pizza base, you can make it thick if you like.
You can use shop bought pizza sauce if you find it diffcult to make
This sauce. Nothing like home made sauce.
