4) add bell pepper, salt and pepper, sugar, fresh herbs of choice, and basil and cook for another 10 mins with lid on.

5) add the mixture to a blender or use a hand blender and make a smooth sauce.

 

Assemble - 

1) shape the dough, give it shape by hand and make a flat round shape.

2) can also use a rolling pin but don't make the dough too flat.

4) add some shredded mozzarella on it.

5) use any toppings of choice, preferably onions, bell pepper, mushroom, corn kernels, roasted paneer cubes.

7) make a simple garlic butter, shred some garlic with the help of a grater, and add in some melted butter, brush the mixture on the edges of the pizza for extra flavour, (can skip this step to avoid extra calories)
