Baked Bhakarwadi
Bhakarwadi is a traditional Maharashtrian deep fried crispy snack roll,filled with tangy mixture of spices and dry coconut(cobra). I wanted to try this recipe from a very long

time……,but i didn’t find any maharastrian friend who knew this authentic recipe of bhakarwadi…..,after tasting many store brought bhakarwadi’s ,going through their ingredient list and after many google search finally i thought of recreating on my own  as i was not that happy with recipes i found on net. If you are my regular blog visitor by now ,you would be knowing that i prefer baked rather than anything deep fried……,So again i baked this delicious spicy and tangy rolls rather going for deep fried.I didn’t find much difference in taste as i had added more fat to the dough to get that crispness. Well,just follow the recipe and enjoy these baked bhakarwadi,you can store it in any air tight containers for 4-5 days and can enjoy with evening tea 🙂

  1. Is that ratio of half cup each maida and besan right? I tried and the dough just wouldn't roll.

    Thanks
