– Fresh coriander leaves, chopped
– 2-3 tbsp mustard oil (or any cooking oil of choice)

**For Pizza Assembly:**
– Tomato sauce or pizza sauce
– Grated mozzarella cheese
– Red chili flakes (optional)

### Instructions:

**1. Prepare the Pizza Dough:**
– In a bowl, mix warm water, sugar, and yeast. Let it sit for 5-10 minutes until foamy.
– In another bowl, combine flour and salt. Add the yeast mixture and olive oil. Mix until a dough forms.
– Knead the dough on a floured surface for about 5-7 minutes until smooth and elastic. Place in an oiled bowl, cover, and let it rise for about 1-2 hours until doubled in size.

**2. Make the Aloo Bhorta:**
– Heat mustard oil in a pan. Add minced garlic, ginger, chopped onions, and green chilies. Sauté until onions turn translucent.
– Add turmeric powder, cumin powder, and salt. Mix well.
– Add the mashed potatoes and mix everything together until well combined. Cook for a few minutes until the mixture is heated through and flavors are well blended. Adjust seasoning if needed.
– Remove from heat and let it cool slightly.

**3. Prepare the Pizza:**
– Preheat your oven to 475°F (245°C).
– Roll out the pizza dough on a floured surface into your desired pizza shape and thickness.
– Place the rolled dough onto a pizza stone or baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
– Spread a layer of tomato sauce or pizza sauce evenly over the dough.
– Spread the prepared aloo bhorta mixture over the sauce.
– Sprinkle grated mozzarella cheese generously over the top.
– Optionally, sprinkle some red chili flakes for extra heat.

**4. Bake the Pizza:**
– Place the pizza in the preheated oven and bake for 12-15 minutes or until the crust is golden and the cheese is bubbly and melted.

**5. Serve:**
– Once done, remove the pizza from the oven.
– Garnish with fresh coriander leaves.
– Slice and serve hot!
