Notes

  • Dough - Knead the dough well else rolling will be difficult. Sprinkle flour if it sticks. You can use just maize flour but it sticks more while rolling so I always add little amount of maida.
  • Rolling - While rolling use a plastic sheet or silicone mat so that it does not stick much.
  • Cutting - Prick with fork to avoid pudding. Cut into small or medium sized triangles. Use a pizza cutter for ease.
  • Frying - I used flavorless oil for deep frying. Fry in low to medium flame. Some may puff up but don't worry it will still be crisp.
  • Seasoning - I used cheese powder to replicate doritos taste. You can use other flavoring of your choice too.
