baked bhakarwadi is a healthy jar snack to keep around the house. Learn to make healthy baked bhakarwadi.

bhakarwadi is one of the most famous Maharashtrian jar snacks. With an exquisite blend of flavours, it is the perfect accompaniment for a cup of hot tea on a rainy day. Here, we have made a healthier version ( baked bhakarwadi ), which is baked instead of deep-fried.

Two things are important to get the perfect baked bhakarwadi. First, the masala needs to have all the spices in the right proportion, in order to get the ideal balance of sweetness, tanginess and spiciness.

Next, you need to master the art of rolling the dough such that the masala does not spill out. If you take care of these two, you are sure to produce a perfect batch of baked bhakarwadi.

Now, you can also indulge in your favourite snack any time because the baked bhakarwadi is healthy and super tasty, and has a wonderful mouth-feel too.

You can also try other healthy jar snacks like Beetroot Shakkarpara, Thattai or Ragi and Oat Crackers.

I am happy that now I can enjoy bhakarwadi with this non-fried version. My office colleagues also appreciated these bhakarwadi and have demanded one more batch for next week.
