"Fusion Cuisine"- Corn Kulchizza!! / Corn pizza on a Onion Kulcha

Kulchizza!!!
How cool is that??? Yes, I came up with that name!!
 A pizza made with "Kulcha" as a crust.....Kulchizza!
Yesterday ,we had our weekly playdate for the kids and I had made "Masala Butter Corn" on toast for the kids. I had made plenty of the corn and we had leftovers for dinner.
Masala Butter Corn......I had it when I visited India last month.At 'City Pride' theater..they had a stall which served this. They steamed the sweet corn kernels, added chili powder,salt,chaat masala, butter and a squeeze of lemon.


The steaming hot- sweet corn with all that spicy masala..ummm umm yummm.....definately made the movies more interesting!!
For dinner......I put together this Kulchizza with frozen Kulcha ,the masala butter corn, ketchup,some chopped onion and cilantro and cheese on top.
Since the Kucha is already stuffed with onion and spices....it makes a very flavorful pizza base/crust.
You can top it with any toppings of your choice.
