Bhakarwadi is one among those special snacks which I enjoy preparing at home. Having Bhakarwadi along with tea in the evening is something which I have always relished, especially during winters and rainy season. It is a traditional spicy Maharastrian snack which takes time and effort to prepare and can be stored for days. This spicy snack is an all-time favourite of the Marathi people and is a must-make for festivals. This snack is easily available in the market, too, but it is always a pleasure to try out new recipes at home, especially when these are not specific to your region. Let\u2019s have a look at how it is made:<\/p>\n<p><strong>Preparation Method:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>There are three stages in the preparation of this snack: preparing the dough, preparing the stuffing, and then frying it.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Preparation time:<\/strong> 1 Hour<\/p>\n<p><strong>Cooking time: <\/strong>\u00bd Hour<\/p>\n<p><strong>Ingredients for the dough: <\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Besan or Bengal gram flour &#8211; 3\/4 cup<\/li>\n<li>Maida or plain flour &#8211; 1 and 1\/2 cup<\/li>\n<li>Chilli powder &#8211; 1 tsp<\/li>\n<li>Hing or asafoetida &#8211; \u00bc tsp<\/li>\n<li>Oil \u2013 2 to 3 tsp<\/li>\n<li>Baking powder &#8211; \u00bd tsp<\/li>\n<li>Water as needed<\/li>\n<li>Salt to taste<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>Preparation of the dough:<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Sieve all the dry ingredients mentioned above and put it in a bowl.<\/li>\n<li>Knead it into a pliable dough using 2 to 3 tsp of oil and some water.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>Ingredients for the stuffing:<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Jeera powder or Cumin seeds powder &#8211; \u00bd tbsp<\/li>\n<li>Dhaniya powder or Coriander powder &#8211; \u00bd \u00a0tbsp<\/li>\n<li>Roasted Khus-Khus or Poppy seeds &#8211; 100 gms<\/li>\n<li>Slightly fried grated coconut &#8211; 200 gms<\/li>\n<li>Green chillies &#8211; 3 to 4<\/li>\n<li>Chopped Adrak or Ginger &#8211; 2 tsp<\/li>\n<li>Chopped Dhaniya or Coriander &#8211; 1\/4 cup<\/li>\n<li>Chilli powder &#8211; 2 tsp<\/li>\n<li>Haldi or Turmeric powder &#8211; \u00bd tsp<\/li>\n<li>Hing or Asafoetida &#8211; \u00bc tsp<\/li>\n<li>Tamarind paste &#8211; \u00bc cup or just use lemon juice<\/li>\n<li>Salt\u00a0as per taste<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>Making the stuffing:<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Just mix all the dry spices mentioned above.<\/li>\n<li>Mix the dry mixture with the tamarind pulp or lemon juice.<\/li>\n<li>Divide the mixed stuffing into equal proportions and keep aside.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>Preparation of the Bhakarwadi:<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Divide the dough into medium-sized balls according to the number of portions of the spicy stuffing.<\/li>\n<li>Flatten out each ball into a small circle like <em>puris<\/em>.<\/li>\n<li>Fill each circle with the masala stuffing and roll it like a cylinder, closing the ends.

Fry the Bhakarwadis till they become golden brown.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Your Bhakarwadis are ready to be served with tea. You can also store them in air-tight containers for later use. Some people also opt for the baked Bhakarwadis. For these, instead of frying, you have to arrange all the Bhakarwadis in a baking tray and bake for half-an-hour or till done. However, being a personal favourite, I would suggest the fried ones.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>When it comes to evening snacks, there are choices galore.
