Prep

1. Cut open a medium sized zip lock on two sides to make it flip like a note book.
2. Grease the inners of the zip lock with any cooking oil and set aside.

Prep The Dough

1. Add corn flour to a mixing bowl.
2. Add sunflower oil and salt to your taste. Mix everything well
3. Add boiling water to the flour. The amount of water required is about half the dry weight of corn flour. You might need a few millilitres more or less depending on climatic conditions. We used about 60 to 70ml of hot water to make our dough.
4. Mix everything well with a spoon or spatula first. Once the dough is pleasant to touch, use your hand and knead into a soft non sticky ball. It should take about 3 to 5 minutes.
5. Rest the dough for 15 to 30 minutes.

Make Tortilla

1. Set a skillet or griddle on medium heat.
2. Divide the dough into 4 equal portions and roll them into balls using your palm.
3. Place the dough onto one greased leaf of the zip lock. Flatten it into a small disk using your fingers.
4. Now cover the dough with the other leaf of the zip lock. For better understanding watch our YouTube video above.
5. Using a heavy bottomed skillet or plate, press the dough to flatten it.
6. Remove gently from the zip lock and transfer it to the griddle on medium heat.
7. Cook for 1-2 minutes and flip.
8. After another minute of cooking, remove from the griddle and serve.
