About Black Pepper
Ground, dried, and cooked Peppercorns have been used for hundreds of years, both as traditional medicine and for flavour. Black Pepper is the world’s most traded spice, and is one of the most common Spices added to cuisines around the world.
Peppercorns and the ground Pepper derived from them may be described simply as Pepper, or more precisely as Black Pepper (cooked and dried unripe fruit), Green Pepper (dried unripe fruit), or white Pepper (ripe fruit Seeds).

Pizza Tools
When making Chaat Pizza, I always recommend that you use whatever kitchen items you have. My basic pizza tools are…
Bench Scrapers
Good quality metal or plastic bench scrapers make it so much esier to both cut your dough, and scrape your bench. I prefer plastic to avoid scratching my bench.
Measuring Cups
Pizza making is all about precision, so having a full set of both wet and dry measuring cups on hand is critical. It is so important when making pizza dough to accurately measure all your ingredients.

Chaat Masala
This flavorful Indian spice blend is made with a combination of spices including amchoor (dried mango powder), cumin, coriander, black pepper, and chili powder. The flavor is tangy and slightly spicy, adding a unique complexity to pizza.
Chaat masala can be sprinkled on top of your favorite pizza before baking or added as a finishing touch after the pizza comes out of the oven. It pairs especially well with vegetarian pizzas like Margherita since it complements the mildness of fresh mozzarella cheese.
