    (Frying Bhakarwadi)

  • 
    
    knead the dough again slightly and divide it into two equal parts, roll it into a slightly thicker chapatis. Brush some tamarind chutney, leaving the sides. Spread the filling leaving the sides, grease water on sides to seal the ends, slowly roll the dough tightly, so that there are no gaps, else while deep frying, bhakarwadi might open, cut the roll into 10-12 equal parts, press slightly. this helps layers and masala to remain intact.
  • Heat the oil on medium heat, and deep fry the bhakarwadi on low flame, stir occasionally till they turn golden brown and crisp from both sides. Once they cool down you can store in an airtight container.
