Ingredients

For The Taco Shells

For The Rajma Filling

For The Topping

Method
For the rajma filling
  1. Combine the rajma, baking soda, salt and 2 cups of water in a pressure cooker, mix well and pressure cook for 3 whistles.
  2. Allow the steam to escape before opening the lid. Drain the excess water and keep the rajma aside to cool completely.
  3. Combine the cooked rajma, and all the remaining ingredients in a bowl and mix well. Keep aside.
For the taco shells
  1. Sieve the maize flour and plain flour together in a deep bowl.
  2. Add the oregano, carom seeds, turmeric powder, oil and salt and knead into a semi-stiff dough using enough warm water.
  3. Divide the dough into 3 equal portions.
  4. Roll out a portion into a 225 mm. (9”) diameter circle using a little plain flour for rolling and prick it with a fork at regular intervals.
  5. Cut out 3 circles of 75 mm. (3”) diametereach.
  6. Repeat steps 4 and 5 to make 12 more taco shells or till the dough gets over.
  7. Heat the oil in a deep non-stick kadhai and deep-fry, 1 at a time, till it turns light brown in colour from both the sides.
  8. 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.
  9. Repeat steps 7 and 8 to make 13 more taco shells.
  10. Allow it to cool completely, store in an air-tight container. Keep aside.
How to pack
  1. Pack the taco shells in an air-tight box and the rajma filling with cheese sprinkled on top in a separate air-tight tiffin box.
