Mini Bakarwadi | Maharashtrian snack

Crisp Homemade Bakarwadi with Tangy Layers

Bakarwadi is a well-known snack from Maharashtra. It is made by rolling a thin dough sheet with a sweet, tangy, and spicy filling, then slicing it into small spirals and frying them until crisp.

Each bite gives you layers of flavour - mild sweetness from jaggery and dates, warmth from spices, and a light tang from chutneys and amchur. The spiral shape is not just traditional; it helps the filling spread evenly so every piece tastes balanced.

This homemade Bakarwadi by Chef Haritha is prepared in small batches using a traditional recipe. The snack is crisp, aromatic, and made without preservatives, making it suitable for those looking for authentic homemade Maharashtrian snacks online.
