Pune Bhakarwadi

🇮🇳 Indian

Pune's spiral bhakarwadi, sweet-spicy filling in a fried coil. The flavours of an Indian market at dusk, built on a plate. Best consumed within minutes — the crunch is the point.

Prep 29 min Cook 14 min Serves 1 Medium

Ingredients

  • Saltto taste
  • Onion1, finely chopped
  • Green Chili1-2, finely chopped
  • Lemon1
  • All-Purpose Flour2 cups
  • Gram Flour1 cup
  • Chaat Masala1 tsp
  • Roasted Cumin1 tsp
  • Sesame Seeds1 tsp
  • Poppy Seeds1 tsp

Optional extras

  • Fresh Cilantro2 tbsp, chopped

Instructions

  1. 1

    Set out everything mise-en-place: this is assembly food, and it moves fast once you start.

  2. 2

    Cook the base element — boil, fry or toast it — till it is exactly right; texture is the whole story here.

  3. 3

    Build the moisture layer: green chutney at the edges, sweet tamarind in crosses, yogurt last.

  4. 4

    Dust the spices from a height so they fall evenly, then bury it under the crunch.

  5. 5

    Scatter the gram flour and cilantro, add one more drag of chutney, and put it in front of someone immediately.

Chef's tip

Taste the layers as you build — every bite should surprise.
