For the Rajma Filling:
- 1 cup Rajma kidney beans, cooked; soak overnight and pressure cook for 8-10 whistles or until tender
For the Creamy Herb Sauce:
- 1 tbsp All-Purpose Flour
- 1 tbsp Butter
- 1 cup Milk whole milk preferred
- 1 tsp Salt or to taste
- 1/2 tsp Pepper black, freshly ground, preferred
- 2 oz Cheese grated cheddar or mozzarella

For the Toppings:

Instructions
Prepare the Rajma
- Soak the rajma overnight and pressure cook until tender (about 8-10 whistles).
Make the Creamy Herb Sauce
- In a non-stick pan, melt the butter. Whisk in the all-purpose flour until lightly pink. Gradually whisk in the milk, stirring constantly until a medium-thick sauce forms. Season with salt and pepper. Stir in the grated cheese and Italian mixed herbs until melted and smooth.
Fry the Roti Chips
- Cut the leftover chapatis into triangles or squares. Heat the oil in a deep pan or wok. Carefully fry the roti pieces until golden brown and crispy. Remove and drain on paper towels.
Assemble the Nachos
- Layer the fried roti chips on a serving platter. Spread the cooked rajma evenly over the chips. Pour the creamy herb sauce over the rajma. Sprinkle with garam masala and chaat masala. Garnish with chopped onions, tomatoes, and coriander leaves. Serve immediately and enjoy!
Recipe Notes
Expert Tips for Perfect Indian-Spiced Nachos:
- For extra crispy roti chips, let them cool completely on a wire rack after frying.
- Feel free to experiment with other beans or lentils in place of the rajma. Black beans or chickpeas would work well.
- Add a kick of spice by incorporating a pinch of red pepper flakes or a drizzle of your favorite hot sauce to the creamy herb sauce.
- If you don't have leftover rotis, you can easily make some fresh chapatis to use for this recipe.
