7 Desi-Style Pizzas To Satisfy Your Rainy Day Cravings
Here Are 7 Desi-Style Pizzas To Enjoy On A Rainy Day
1. Paneer Tikka Pizza
This is an all-time favourite pizza option among vegetarians. The smokiness and spiciness of the paneer tikka pair well with stringy cheese and the tangy tomato sauce base. Along with pieces of paneer, this pizza is generally topped with onions and capsicum. If your mouth is already watering, order this pizza online soon.
In a rush? Can't cook?
2. Achari Paneer Pizza
If you love achari (pickle-style) flavours, achari paneer pizza is a must-try. It has a specific type of tartness that may remind you of homely comfort or street-style indulgence. Either way, it's a great pick for a rainy day meal.
3. Masala Veg Pizza
This type of pizza has many names and variations on restaurant menus. The exact veggies used may differ. Common ones are onions, capsicum, corn, zucchini, etc. Paneer may or may not be added. The basic idea is that the toppings are spiced with desi-style masalas, which gives the pizza a chatpata upgrade.
4. Butter Chicken Pizza
Love pizza and butter chicken? Why not combine the two for the ultimate feast? Nowadays, many restaurants have started featuring butter chicken pizzas on their menus. This fusion dish works because the rich creaminess of the popular North Indian gravy complements pizza as a cheesy bread.

5. Tandoori Chicken Pizza
If you want a less experimental desi-style pizza with chicken, choose tandoori chicken pizza. It's become a classic and is often served at parties. The juicy pieces of chicken infused with tandoori spices are a topping that rarely disappoints. Add extra cheese to the mix, and it becomes the stuff of foodie dreams!
6. Chicken Kebab Pizza
Sausage is a popular pizza topping around the world. But in India, why would we choose sausage if kebab is an option? You can find various types of chicken kebab pizzas on food delivery apps. Different kinds of kebabs can be chopped and added as toppings. They lend a distinct smoky flavour that is irresistible.
7. Keema Pizza
Another non-veg pizza with desi flavours you should not miss is keema pizza. Chicken or Mutton mince may be used for this topping. The juicy texture of the keema takes this treat to the next level. Since keema pizzas are generally spicy, they are a wonderful solution for monsoon cravings.

After much thought and consideration, Kashyap and I have decided to part ways. We're choosing peace, growth, and healing for ourselves and each other. I am grateful for the memories and wish nothing but the best moving forward.'

Kothari Industrial Corporation acquires footwear brands Zodiz, Jeetlo
Chennai-based Kothari Industrial Corporation Ltd. (KICL), the flagship company of the D.C. Kothari group, has acquired Zodiz, Jeetlo and other associated sub-brands in the footwear field. The acquisition of Zodiz, Jeetlo and associated sub-brands will come into effect from August 4, 2025, the company said. Zodiz is owned by Zaimus Trends Private Ltd., a company based in Coimbatore. Jeetlo Footwear is another Indian footwear brand known for affordable, trendy shoes and sandals. It has a strong presence on leading Indian e-commerce platforms, the company said. These brands cater to the price- and quality-conscious mass market, offering products below ₹1,000 per pair — a segment that accounts for nearly 80% of the Indian footwear consumption, valued at ₹80,000–85,000 crore annually, it said. This acquisition gives KICL an immediate foothold in one of the fastest-growing and underserved consumer segments, the company said. 'Our business strategy will be distribution-led, targeting Tier-2 and Tier-3 cities — India's emerging urban hubs where the appetite for affordable fashion is on the rise,' said Jinnah Rafiq Ahmed, Executive Chairman, KICL. KICL is deeply into the non-leather footwear field having set up a non-leather footwear park in the backward district of Perambalur in Tamil Nadu. It has already tied up foreign makers of iconic brands such as Kickers, Adidas and the like.
