Bhakharvadi

Description

Bhakharvadi is a popular, savory, and crunchy Indian snack, typically associated with Maharashtrian cuisine. It is made from a dough of wheat flour or a similar base, which is rolled out into a thin sheet, spread with a spicy filling, and then rolled into a spiral shape. The filling generally consists of a mix of spices like mustard seeds, sesame seeds, cumin, red chili powder, turmeric, and sometimes even coconut or sugar, which gives it a unique balance of spicy, tangy, and slightly sweet flavors. The rolled dough is then deep-fried to a golden brown, resulting in a crisp, flaky snack that can be enjoyed with tea or as a stand-alone treat. Bhakharvadi is known for its deliciously layered texture and bold taste, making it a favorite in many Indian households.
