The origins of this recipe can be traced back to the bustling streets of Mumbai, India. In the heart of the city, there is a small pizzeria that has been serving up this unique dish for over 50 years. The pizzeria is run by a family of Indian immigrants who wanted to share the flavors of their homeland with the people of Mumbai. They experimented with different recipes until they came up with the perfect combination of flavors and textures. The pizza quickly became a hit with the locals and has since become a popular dish all over India.
