Bhakarwadi recipe 

 

bhakarwadi recipe

 

Bhakarwadi is a famous Maharastrian tea time snacks. It is made up of thin chickpea sheet stuffed with spicy and tangy spice mixture. It is usually deep fried in oil but today I am sharing the baked version. As most of Indian food is at bit higher node of calories so baking instead of deep frying can reduce some calorie content.

I do have tried them in their original form that is deep fried version. They were so full of flavours. I had faced only one problem while frying was that stuffing filled in bhakarwadi spreads in oil. That’s another reason I prefer to bake these.

I love to make Maharastrian snacks like pav bhaji recipe, poha or sabundana vada . This bhakarwadi is another gem of Maharashtrian cuisine. It has long shelf life so you can prepare in bulk to munch upon it. Let’s see the recipe now.

Ingredients 

For dough

1 cup  gram flour / Chickpea flour/Besan
1/2 cup all purpose flour /Maida
2 small pinch baking soda
2 tablespoon oil
½ teaspoon turmeric
½ teaspoon red chilli powder
Salt to taste
Water as required

For stuffing

For the filling
2 tablespoon sesame seeds
1 tablespoon poppy seeds
1 teaspoon fennel seeds, crushed
2 tablespoon dry coconut
1 teaspoon ginger, grated
1 green chilli, chopped
1/2 teaspoon red chilli flakes/powder
1/2 teaspoon roasted cumin powder
1/2 teaspoon garam masala powder
3 tablespoon honey or sugar
1 tablespoon lemon juice
Salt to taste

Step 9. Divide the dough into 3 or 4 equal parts. With the help of dusting roll each part to make a thin disc, approximately 8 inch in diameter. Don’t worry about the cracked edges, they will cover inside.
