Ingredients
For Taco Shells
1 cup maize flour (makai ka atta)
1/2 cup plain flour (maida)
1 tbsp oil
1/2 tsp carom seeds (ajwain) , optional
salt to taste
oil for deep-frying
plain flour (maida) for rolling
Method
For taco shells
- To make taco shells, sieve the maize flour and plain flour together in a deep bowl.
- Add the oil, carom seeds and salt and knead into a semi-stiff dough using enough warm water.
- Divide the dough into 18 equal portions.
- Roll out a portion into a 100 mm. (4”) diameter circle using little plain flour for rolling and prick it with a fork at regular intervals.
- Heat the oil in a deep non-stick kadhai and deep-fry it till it turns light brown in colour from both the sides.
- Once it turns light brown, immediately shape it into a shell (‘u’ shape) using a pair of tongs and a frying laddle and continue deep-frying while holding the shell till it turns golden brown in colour from both the sides. Drain it on an absorbent paper.
- Repeat steps 4 to 6 to make 17 more taco shells.
- Allow the taco shells to cool completely, store in an air-tight container and use as required.
