When you're on a baking spree and want to try baking all sorts of snacks that are menat to be deep-fried, how can you not try the famous Marathi sweet & savoury Bhakarwadi! I'm so glad I did too. These were so yummy we'll probably never buy packaged ones again! Especially given no deep-frying.
Here it is, my healthier version, Baked Bhakarwadi:
Ingredients for the filling: 1/2 cup descicated coconut, 1/4 cup white sesame seeds, 1/4 tbsp chilli powder, 1/2 tbsp cumin powder, 1/2 tbsp coriander powder, 1/2 tbsp garam masala, 1/2 tbsp cumin seeds, 1 tsp sugar, 1 tsp salt, bit of lemon juice.
Make: To make the dough, combine all of the flours and spices together with oil and form a firm dough using water as required only.
To make the filling, first dry roast the sesame seeds and cumim seeds. Add these to all of the other spice powders and coconut into a mixer. Grind it all together to make an aromatic mixture.
Roll out the dough like a roti then smear a bit lemon juice on it so the spice mixture can stick to it. Spread some spice mixture on top to cover the whole roti. Roll into a long shape, then cut into small sections as shown in the photo. Arrange all in a lined baking tray, spray with a bit of oil and bake at 170 deg for about 20 minutes. Cool completely before storing or serving for teatime!
