NACHOS

Nachos is a Mexican snack dish which is made of corn tortillas which are cut into triangles and then deep fried or baked.
There are various ways in which Nachos can be served. I usually serve it with ready made tomato salsa available in the market or it can be baked with white sauce, grated cheese, corn, jalapenos or minced meat etc.

Nachos can be made and stored in an airtight container and top it with salsa and grated cheese at the time of serving.

I've made a small batch you can double or triple the recipe depending upon the quantity you require. I've used whole wheat flour (aata) instead of all purpose flour (maida). It tastes well with both the flours so use the flour as per your preference. I've used dried herbs and pepper to the dough if you want plain nachos you can omit these.

INGREDIENTS

3/4 cup maize flour (Makai ka aata)

1/2 cup whole wheat flour (aata) or all purpose flour (maida)

1/2 tea spoon salt or to taste

1 table spoon oil fro the dough

Dry spice mix (pepper, oregano, red chilli flakes, basil) add as per your taste

Water  to make dough

Oil for frying

METHOD

1. Take the maize flour and whole wheat flour or all purpose flour in a bowl.

2. Add salt to it. Add the dry spices if using.

3. Add oil to the flours.

4. Using water knead it into a soft dough.

5. Take a big ball of dough and roll it into a big chapatti.

6. Prick it with a fork all over.

7. Cut into equal sized triangles.

8. Heat oil in a kadai and add the triangles. Fry till light golden.

9. Let them cool completely and store them in an air tight container or serve them topped with salsa or grated cheese.
