Bhakarwadi Recipe | How to Make Bhakarwadi


Method

  • Start by making the filling.
  • In a pan, dry roast coriander seeds, fennel seeds, jeera, til, khus khus and coconut on low heat until they are fragrant and attain a nice golden color.
  • Let them cool and grind to a coarse powder along with salt, red chili powder, sugar and namkeen mixture.
  • Transfer to a bowl.
  • Next, make the dough.
  • In a mixing bowl, add the flour, besan, salt, ajwain and crushed kasoori methi. Mix well.
  • Add warm oil and rub between your palms until the flour resembles a bread crumb texture.
  • Now add water little at a time and knead a semi-stiff dough.
  • Cover with a damp cloth and let it rest for 15 minutes.
  • After 15 minutes, knead again for 2 minutes.
  • Divide the dough into two portions.
  • Roll out the portion into a thin chapati.

  • Smear about 2 tbsp of tamarind chutney all around the chapati, leaving about 1/2 an inch from the edges.

  • Next, spread 2 to 3 tbsp of the ground spice mix all over and press hard with your hands


  • Smear a little water around the edges.
  • Tightly roll the chapati into a log




  • Cut out the edges. Then cut the log into 2 inch pieces. Flatten each piece a little with your hands.



  • Heat oil in a kadhai till medium hot.
  • Lower the heat and slide the bhakarwadis in a batch of 8 to 10.
  • Let them cook on low heat for 10 to 12 minutes.
  • Remove from the kadhai and let them cool completely.
  • Store in an airtight container and consume whenever you like. They would stay good for about a month.
