- 1 tsp red chilli flakes
- luke warm water for mixing dough
Sieve both the maida and maize flours together. Add oil, salt, dried parsley and red chilli flakes in it. Add luke warm water and make a soft dough similar to a chappati dough.
Make lemon sized balls and roll out thinly with a rolling pin, dusting some flour as you require and make it like a round chappati. Prick lightly with a fork.
Toast the rolled out chappati lightly on both sides for a few seconds on a frying pan. Remove and cut it into desired shapes.
Heat oil in a heavy bottomed vessel and deep fry the chips till golden brown.
Drain into a tissue paper,so that it soaked the oil. Serve with salsa and sour cream. You can also store the corn chips in air tight containers.
