Most of the Tortilla chips are prepared using corn. And most of the corn which is grown in US is modified. The genetically modified chips are linked to some health risks which includes cancer. Even the flour tortilla chips possesses preservatives in them.
So, we must make our own tortilla chips. I have a good recipe for the leftover chapatis. The chapatis are made from whole wheat, flax seed & wheat germ. Utilize your own masalas for the flavour and taste.
Ingredients:
- 5-6-Whole wheat chapatis
- Little amount of ghee or oil to spray on every chapati.
- Spices
- Red chili powder
- Dry mango powder
- Cumin powder
- Salt
Method:
- Get your chapatis ready by applying some ghee or oil on them.
- If you wish to utilize zero oil, just pour some water. Water supports the masalas to stick to the chapati.
- After applying oil cut every chapati in half & every half in four pieces. So you would get eight wedges from every chapati.
- Preheat oven to 350 F.
Procedure:
- Put every pieces on a baking sheet with oil side up. Spray the masalas on them.
- You could mix each masalas or spray them separately. PLace it in the pre heated oven for five mins. After five mins, flip them to different side. Repeat it by putting the baking sheet in oven & pay attention. It takes like five to seven mins. It took around six mins. To me.
- Allow them to cool down for five mins. when they are completed. Put them in airtight container. Distribute them with homemade guacamole or salsa.
Helpful Tips:
- You may also utilise pita bread for forming chips.
- You could utilise the favorite herbs & spices.
Health Information:
- The chapatis here are prepared using flax seed, whole wheat, wheat germ. They are enriched with fiber & protein.
- The commercial chips whether they are flour or corn, consists preservatives.
- Corn chips are even bad because most of the corn grown in US is genetically modified, unless we buy certified organic chips. Genetically modified foods creates many health risks involving cancer.
