One more person joked, “And how much is each portion going for? I am guessing 200% profit per plate as popadums are cheap. It’s a nice racket.”
Taking a dig at the restaurant’s name, a person wrote, “Yep. The irony… restaurant name’s Snitch by the Thieves.”

To begin making the Homemade Nachos recipe, knead the flour first. In a mixing bowl, combine the flours, 1 tablespoon oil, and the salt to taste.
Slowly add water and knead a roti-like dough.
Knead for 5-6 minutes to release all of the air in the flour and make the nachos crisper.
Allow the dough to rest for 10 minutes before kneading for a minute to smooth it out again.
Make medium-sized rotis/tortillas and keep them separate to make tortillas. The thickness should be similar to rotis. Cook them in batches on a flat griddle or pan. Please do not brown them as you would rotis.
We just need to cook them briefly to evaporate the moisture and make them crisp when fried.
To make nachos, cut the tortillas into triangular shapes and fry them in a deep fry pan on medium high heat until crisp.
When they’re done, place them on a tissue paper to absorb any excess oil. Homemade Nachos are ready to serve when you sprinkle Barbeque masala on freshly fried nachos.
Serve Homemade Nachos with Melon Salsa, Spicy Mexican Salsa Verde, or your favourite Salsa.
