Fried Gorditas are made with corn flour in Mexico. It is quite similar to our poori. The only difference is we can make it in advance and it remains fluffy all the time, even after many days. I made this in ladies kitty party, just microwaved 40 seconds in microwave before serving. I served it with Rajma and imli water with onion flavor. Traditionally it is served as a sandwitch, which is filled with rajma paste, chutneys and salad. Here below is how we can make it:
Ingredients (12 pieces)
2.5 cups of makki ka aata
3/4 cups of all purpose flour
1 tbsp of baking powder
1/2 tsp of salt
1.5 cups of water
oil for deep frying
Ingredients for (55 pieces)
10 cups of makki ka aata
3 cups of maida/all purpose flour
4 tbsp of baking powder
3 tsp of salt
5 cups of water
Method
1. Sieve the makka+all purpose flour+baking powder and salt together through a sieve.
2. Now make a dough with water.
3. Make 12 balls out of it.
4. Now place one dough ball between two wet plastic pieces and press it gently into round shape.
5. Heat the oil in a frying pan. Now fry the rolled gorditas in hot oil on medium flame. It should be puffed up. One side atleast take 30 seconds. One gorditas should be fried in 1 minute or little bit more. Therefore adjust the heat accordingly. Puffed gortditas remains in the same puffing position for many days. It does not become flat after taking out of the oil.
6. When it is done from both sides, take out from the oil.
Tips
1. When we place the rolled gordita in hot oil, there will be bubbling. When bubbles settles, only then puff it gently with spatula.
2. Adjust the flame as one gordita should be fried in one minute. Never fry in low flame, it will not fluff.
3. Fry only one at a time.
Enjoy Healthy Cooking!!!
