It does surprise me sometimes,how all the cuisines are intermingled in terms of preparation.

As  a kid, my mom used to make our own Indian nachos,with leftover rotis fried and seasoned with salt.It was our own Tea time snack and we used to have it with mint sauce or ketchup.Just that we didn’t know then that we were eating another form of Nachos. Those were made from only wheat flour and the Mexican version is made with adding corm meal flour / Makai Ka Aata to it.Both taste different and amazing in their own rich flavor.

So enjoy this recipe and happy cooking.
