Indian way of making mexican tacos

Tacos are actually mexican snack in which taco shells are filled with baked beans and some vegetables ike lettuce, onion etc and topped with some sauces and salsa etc.
Here is a recipe to make tacos in Indian and simple way. Here I am using taco shells made of corn and wheat flour, Green chutney as a sauce, dal makhani instead of baked beans, sliced marinated onion.

Ingredients:
Tacos:
1 cup of corn flour
1/2 cup of whole wheat flour
warm water to make dough
salt to taste
oil for deep frying/baking.
Filling and Toppings:
Sliced Onion
Dal Makhani / Rajma masala/ Chole masala/chana masala curry
Green Chutney: 1 cup mint leaves, 1/4 cup coriander leaves, salt to tase, 3 green chillies, 1 tbsp curd/thick yogurt, 1/2 tsp lemon juice
For Marination: 1 tbsp lemon juice, 1/1 tsp pepper powder, pinc of salt.
 
Procedure:
Taco Shells:

Mix corn and whole wheat flour along with salt. Now add 2 tsp of oil and rub the flour. Now make a dough using warm water which is neither too hard nor too soft. Rest the dough for 30 min.
Now roll the dough in to thin sheets and cut the circles of 10 cm dia out of it. While rolling the dough has to be handled carefully. You can also roll it between 2 sheets of greased cling film. Also you may press it using puri press/roti maker.
  

Deep fry them in oil handling carefully same like we deep fry the puri. Now immediately after it is fried take it in to a tissue paper and press it with a rolling pin/belan to form the taco shell.

Green Chutney: Grind all the ingredients mentioned for green chutney in to smooth saucy consistency.
Curry/Filling: I used dal makhani curry here. You can use chole masala or rajma masala curry also.
Marinated Onion: Marinate the sliced onion rings in lemon juice, salt and pepper powder for 10 min.
Now fill the taco shell with the curry.

 Top it with the marinated onions.
Now top it with green chutney.
Yummy and crispy tacos are ready with desi twist.
