Ingredients

• 1 cup wheat flour
• 1 cup maize (corn) flour
• 1 tbsp dried oregano
• 1 tbsp chili flakes
• 1 tbsp dry mint powder (optional)
• Salt to taste
• 1 ½ cup Water or as needed
• Oil for deep frying
• ½ cup maize (corn) flour for rolling

Instructions

For the Dough

1. Mix all the dry ingredients in a deep bowl and mix well with a wooden spoon.
2. Add water slowly and as needed to knead a soft dough.
3. Rest the dough for 15 minutes.
4. Divide the dough into 8 equal portions.
5. Take one portion, roll it into a ball and make it into a chapati/tortilla of around 6-8 inches with a rolling pin. Keep dusting with dry flour so that it does not stick to the surface.
6. Cut the tortilla into triangles.

There are three methods of cooking tortilla/nachos chips:

1. a) You can either heat the oil in a deep non-stick kadhai/cauldron & deep fry, a few nachos chips at a time, on medium flame till they turn crispy & golden from both sides. Drain the nachos chips on an absorbent paper to remove excess oil. Cool the nachos chips & store them in an air-tight container. Repeat the steps for the rest of the chips.
2. b) Cook the chapati on a non-stick tawa (griddle) and then deep fry them as mentioned above (this method soaks less oil).
3. c) Cook the chapati on a non-stick tawa (griddle) and then make it crisp in khakhra maker (for oil-free version) or you can make it on a non-stick tawa (griddle) and cook each tortilla on a slow flame till golden spots appear on both the sides. Continue cooking the khakhra on a slow flame, while pressing with a folded muslin cloth, till it turns crisp and brown from both the sides. Cool and store the masala khakhras in an air-tight container.
4. All three methods taste great but definitely the taste differs.

Notes

These nacho chips can be had with cashew cheese or the cheesy dip or even plain.
