Next to coconut milk and tropical fruits, Thai cuisine also specializes in the smart use of peanuts and sesame seeds, which is the characteristic exploited by this irresistible pizza!

The Thai Pizza uses an innovative peanut flavoured sauce, and a crunchy topping of typically oriental veggies combined with sesame seeds, soy sauce and paneer or tofu cubes.

While either of these ingredients can be used depending on availability, tofu will accentuate the Thai touch!
