I made this for my daughter's birthday. She turned 9 this November. My daughter is the reason I know what it's like to be a vegan today. Although I have been a vegan since 2012, I did not know what it means until 2014-15. I owe this credit to her really. I usually like to make healthy treats for kids. I happened to come across a non-vegan recipe for nachos and I veganized it. The non-vegan version was made with almonds and egg whites . I did experiment with almond meal which was good too. However the below is made using Maize flour because most of the nachos recipes I saw was made with maize flour and maida. One can relish this with Salsa.  I also loved the sweet potato wedges in Enerjuvate and since sweet potato is my daughter's favourite, I planned to make that too. A sweet creamy dip is a perfect combo with sweet potato wedges. Below are the recipes. Do enjoy and leave your comments if you try them out.

Method:

1. Mix everything well in a food processor. You can hand mix too. Roll the dough between 2 parchment papers and shape them using a pizza cutter. The rolled dough must be thin to be crispy. 

2. Bake them on a parchment paper at 175C for 10-12 mins. Start watching after 10 mins and ensure even browning. Let it cool and store in an air tight container

Any seasoning of your choice as per taste needed Cumin powder, Black salt, Regular salt, pepper crushed, curry leaves, little ajwain powder, chilli powder or grated ginger. The list can go on as per your wish!

Note : Replace Maize with just rice flour or just almond flour. One can try other flours too. I have not tried with the others. I think it should work well, but the flax requirement might change. Just keep adding until you have a good binding for the dough that can be rolled. If it's too watery, add some flour and adjust. This is not a recipe that needs measuring, really! Keep enough gooey flax egg handy and mix.
