1 tsp oil
1 1/2 tsp dry red chilli flakes (paprika)

whole wheat flour (gehun ka atta) for rolling

For The Red Pepper and Tomato Salsa (makes Approx. 1 Cup)
1 large red capsicum
1 cup roughly chopped tomatoes

1 tsp roughly chopped garlic (lehsun)
3/4 tsp chilli powder

Method

For the spicy tortilla chips

Combine all the ingredients in a deep bowl and knead it into a soft dough using enough water.
Divide the dough into 8 equal portions.
Roll out a portion into a 100 mm. (4”) diameter circle using a little whole wheat flour for rolling.
Prick it at equal distance using a fork and cut it into 4 equal triangular pieces.
Repeat steps 3 and 4 to make 28 more tortilla pieces using the remaining 7 more portions of the dough.
Place half the tortilla pieces on a baking tray and bake in a pre-heated oven at 200°c (400°f) for 8 minutes, while turning over once after 4 minutes.
Repeat step 6 to bake the remaining tortillas in one more batch. Keep aside to cool slightly.

For the red pepper and tomato salsa

Pierce a fork through the red capsicum, brush the oil evenly over it and roast it on a slow flame till it turns black in colour from all the sides.
Immerse the capsicum in cold water, remove the skin, stem and seeds and roughly chop them.
Combine the red capsicum and all the remaining ingredients, except the spring onion greens, in a mixer and blend into a smooth mixture.
Transfer the mixture into a bowl, add the spring onion greens and mix well. Keep aside.
