Ingredients
- corn flour - 1 cup (1 cup)
- water - 1 cup (equal to corn flour quantity, 1 cup)
- salt - 1/2 teaspoon + to taste (half teaspoon for boiling water, plus to taste for dough)
- baking soda - pinch (a pinch)
- refined flour (all-purpose flour) - 4 tablespoons (4 tablespoons)
- oregano - 1 teaspoon (1 teaspoon)
- black pepper - 1/2 teaspoon (half teaspoon)
- oil - watch the video to see (for deep frying)
- peri peri masala or chaat masala - watch the video to see (optional, for sprinkling after frying)
Instructions
- Boil water with salt and baking soda: Pour 1 cup water into a pan, add half teaspoon salt and a pinch of baking soda, and bring to a boil.
- Mix corn flour into boiling water: Add 1 cup corn flour to the boiling water and mix quickly to form a dough without adding extra water.
- Cool the dough: Remove the pan from heat, cover it, and let the dough cool down.
- Prepare dough with additional ingredients: Transfer the cooled dough to a plate, add 4 tablespoons refined flour, 1 teaspoon oregano, and half teaspoon black pepper. Knead into a soft dough, adding water teaspoon by teaspoon if needed.
- Rest the dough: Cover the dough with a wet cloth and let it rest for at least 10 minutes.
- Roll out the dough: Place the dough between oiled plastic sheets and roll it out very thinly with a rolling pin.
- Cut and shape nachos: Remove the plastic sheet, cut the rolled dough into squares, trim uneven edges, then cut into triangles to form nachos.
- Prick nachos with a fork: Mark the nachos with a fork to prevent puffing during frying.
- Fry the nachos: Heat oil well, then fry nachos one by one on low to medium flame until golden brown and crispy. Avoid high flame to prevent puffing.
- Cool and season: Remove fried nachos, let cool slightly, then optionally sprinkle with peri peri or chaat masala before serving.
