One of India’s loved snacks, Bakharwadi is a crispy, savory, and light snack famous for its spicy filling and tangy taste. A mixture of sesame seeds, herbs, and spices is wrapped into besan or gram flour and deep-fried to make a crispy and savory snack. Bhakarwadi is a perfect tea-time accompaniment or just when you crave some spicy and savory desi treats. The snack is typically made in Maharashtra, but its delightful taste has made it one of the most relished snacks worldwide.

Bakharwadi originates from the northern parts of the Indian subcontinent and is typically made in Maharashtra. The snack can be had any time of the day and makes a perfect recipe for your evening choti bhookh. Have on your apron as I guide you to making a perfect homestyle Bhakrwadi in no time.
Preparation Method for Bhakarwadi Recipe
Mix besan, wheat flour, turmeric powder, red chili powder, cumin powder, coriander powder, salt, and oil in a mixing bowl to make the flour.
Add water to make a firm dough. Knead dough until it becomes smooth & pliable.
For the filling, heat the oil in a pan over medium heat. Add mustard seeds, cumin seeds, coriander seeds, fennel seeds, and asafoetida. Fry for a few seconds until the seeds start to crackle.
Add the grated coconut and sesame seeds to the pan and mix well. Cook for a few minutes until the coconut starts to turn golden brown.
Add the turmeric powder, red chili powder, and salt to the pan and mix well. Cook for another minute or two.
Divide the dough into small, equal-sized balls. Roll each ball into a thin, round disc.
Spread a spoonful of the filling on each disc and roll it tightly into a cylinder. Seal the edges with a little water.
Cut the cylinder into 1/2-inch pieces and keep them aside.
Heat the oil in a deep pan for frying. Once the oil is hot, add the bakharwadi pieces and fry them until they turn golden brown and crispy.
Pick fried bakharwadi from oil with a slotted spoon. Place them on a paper towel/ tissue to drain the excess oil.
Serve the bakharwadi hot with mint chutney or tamarind chutney. Enjoy!

Use good quality gram flour or besan to make Bhakarwadi. I prefer trusted Indian brands like Ganesh or Aashirvaad.
Ensure the Bakharwadi filling is evenly spread across the dough otherwise, it may get difficult to roll, and the final product will not be uniform.
Once cooled, you can store recipe Bakharwadi in an airtight container to maintain its crispiness.
Bakharwadi tastes great with mint chutney or tamarind chutney. You can also experiment with different fillings like paneer or potato for a richer and mushy version.
