Bhakarwadi is a delicious sweet and spicy, crispy deep fried Maharashtrian snack in India especially city of Pune. It is a dry snack made of gram flour, whole wheat flour, and lots of spices. I have used the baked bhakarwadi recipe to make healthier version of it instead of deep frying it. The fillings for the Bhakarwadi can be customized to your taste preference.
