Bhakarwadi / Bakarwadi
Bhakarwadi is a traditional Maharashtrian snack made by stuffing a mix of roasted poppy seeds, coconut and a few spices in a lightly seasoned outer covering made with Bengal gram flour. This snack is mostly enjoyed as an evening snack with a cup of tea or coffee. The best part about bhakarwadi is that it can be stored for weeks in air-tight containers.
