Today I post “Tortillas Chips” under Chips Theme for Blogging Marathon #13 conducted by Srivalli. Tortillas are the bread of Mexico. Crispy tortilla chips
can be used to quickly assemble delicious Mexican snacks. Deep fry a large
batch of these chips and store them in an air-tight container. They keep well
for several days.

Here tortilla chips prepared with
mixture of cornmeal and plain flour then make simple dough with hot water. We
cook just like simple chapatti and cut into triangle shape and fry in oil and
serve with salsa or dip whatever you like. You can call corn chips also.

From the nutrition value point of view,
in cornmeal contain lots of carbohydrates and iron.

¾ cup plain flour

½ tsp. salt

½ tsp. carom seeds

salt, carom seeds and oil in bowl. Mix this
flour with figure tips. Add enough hot water in flour for dough and knead well.

Divide the dough in
to small portions. Roll out the each portion very thin like chapatti, prick all
over with a fork and cook lightly on tawa. Repeat same with the rest of the dough.

triangles and deep fry in oil until crisp. Remove from the flame on kitchen
towel.
