Corn chips


Maize flour / makkai atta makes tasty rotis but it a tough flour to handle. It is easy to knead, but try to roll it....disaster and frustration!!
So when I first tried to make corn chips, I ended up frustrated.
So use equal parts of makkai atta with maida / all purpose flour to make corn chips. That is the trick.
Try to use a press to flatten the dough. Line the press with a oiled plastic cover for easier peeling.

Ingredients:
Makkai atta / maize flour - 1/2 cup
Maida / all purpose flour - 1/2 cup
Salt
Oil - 2 tbsp + extra for deep frying
Water to knead

Method:
Mix the flours together with the salt.
Then add the oil and mix well.
Make a smooth dough with just enough water.

Keep covered for 1/2 hour.
Make small balls and press to flatten.
Use a fork to pierce holes. This will prevent the chips from puffing up.

Cut each flattened dough into 6 to 8 triangles.
Deep fry on low flame.
Once cooled, transfer to an airtight container.
Enjoy with Guacamole and / or Salsa.
