02 / HOW TO MAKE IT

Let's cook.

01

Make and Shape Dough

In a bowl, combine the flour, salt, and baking powder. Gradually add water and mix until you get a soft dough. Divide the dough into four equal pieces, then shape each one into a patty about 6 inches across.

02

Fry patties golden

Heat some oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Cook the patties in batches, frying them until they puff up and turn golden brown on both sides—this usually takes around 5 minutes per side.

03

Add Toppings and Serve

Once the patties are ready, place them on plates and pile on your favorite toppings like chili, chopped tomatoes, shredded Cheddar, and crisp lettuce. Serve warm and enjoy!

03 / EXTRA DETAILS

Good to know.

Cook's tip

- Toast the taco shells lightly to add extra crunch and warmth.
- Use fresh cilantro and a squeeze of lime to brighten up the flavors before serving.
- Adjust the spice level by adding more or less chili powder according to your preference.

Why you’ll love it

This dish blends the bold spices of Indian cuisine with the fun and casual feel of tacos. It offers a unique flavor experience that is both comforting and exciting. The combination of familiar ingredients with unexpected spices makes every bite deliciously memorable.

Serving ideas

Serve with a side of cooling yogurt or raita to balance the spices. A fresh salad with tomatoes, onions, and cucumbers pairs well for a refreshing contrast. You can also add some pickled onions or chutney for an extra burst of flavor.

Storage & leftovers

Store any leftover filling in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Keep taco shells separate to prevent them from becoming soggy. Reheat the filling gently on the stove and warm the shells in the oven before assembling.
