ROTI NACHO'S CHAAT | LEFT-OVER ROTI NACHO'S CHAAT

We all sometimes have the roti’s left behind in our kitchens.So we always either try to do roti churma with them.But here I am doing something different with it.I am preparing a Left-over Roti Nachos Chaat.Leftover roti’s are dry hence when we fry them they become more crispy.Whenever we have these leftover roti’s in our house we prepare these nachos and serve it with tomato sauce or our homemade pickle.

But in this recipe of nachos I am topping them with boiled chana/brown chickpeas,curd,tamrind chutney,onion and sev.This is the Indian version of nachos which really tastes yummicious.

We can prepare different styles of Nachos like,

Papad Nachos
Khakhra Nachos
Roti Nacho Chips

At the same time remove the excess water from the boiled chana’s separately so that we can use it during cooking.
Now for making nachos take the leftover rotis.
Place it on a plane surface and cut them in half.

In this way you make 8 equal triangular pieces/nacho’s out of one roti.
In a pan/kadhai add oil to heat.

METHOD FOR PLATING :

In a plate place the roti nachos.
First add chana toppings on each nacho’s and spread it evenly over the nacho’s.
Now pour tamrind chutney followed by sweet curd/dahi over the nacho’s.
Put the chopped onions over it.
Sprinkle the chaat masala.
Next add the sev /nylon sev over the toppings.
Finally garnish it with chopped coriander leaves.
Your mouth watering Nacho’s Chaat is rady to eat.

NOTE :

Always use the leftover roti’s for making roti nacho’s because these roti’s are dry and on frying it becomes more crispy.
On other hand we don’t get this result with the fresh roti’s because of the moisture content in the fresh roti’s.
But if still you want to prepare nacho’s from fresh roti’s then keep the cut roti pieces in microwave mode for 1 minutes and your roti will become dry.
Or else roast the roti’s on the tava till it becomes dry.
You can add any type of toppings as per your taste.
