FAQS

  1. How can I make pizza pockets with different fillings?

    You can easily customize your pizza pockets by using different fillings. Try substituting the boiled corn with cooked chicken, mushrooms, or spinach. You can also swap out the paneer for ricotta or mozzarella cheese. Just ensure that any meat or vegetables are pre-cooked before adding them to the filling.

  2. Are pizza pockets suitable for a vegetarian diet?

    Yes, these pizza pockets are vegetarian-friendly as they are made with paneer, corn, and capsicum. You can also make them vegan by replacing paneer with tofu or a vegan cheese alternative and using a plant-based dough.

  3. What is the best way to store leftover pizza pockets?

    To store leftover pizza pockets, let them cool completely and then place them in an airtight container. They can be refrigerated for up to 3 days. For longer storage, consider freezing them. Just make sure to wrap them tightly in plastic wrap or foil before placing them in a freezer-safe bag.

  4. What can I serve with pizza pockets for a complete meal?

    Pizza pockets pair well with a variety of sides. Consider serving them with a fresh salad, garlic bread, or a side of marinara sauce for dipping. You could also add some roasted vegetables or a light soup to create a more filling meal.

  5. Can I use store-bought dough for making pizza pockets?

    Absolutely! If you're short on time, you can use store-bought pizza dough or even puff pastry instead of making your own roti dough. Just roll it out and follow the same filling and cooking instructions for quick and easy pizza pockets.
