Bakharwadi is a traditional savory snack originating from Indian cuisine, particularly prominent in Maharashtra and Gujarat. It is a spiral-shaped, bite-sized treat made by rolling spicy, tangy filling inside a thin dough and deep-frying it to golden perfection. The filling typically includes roasted spices, dried coconut, sesame seeds, sugar, and tamarind paste, offering a unique balance of sweet, sour, and spicy flavors. While Bakharwadi is packed with flavorful ingredients, its deep-fried preparation makes it high in calories and fats, which should be consumed in moderation, especially for those monitoring heart health or weight. On the healthier side, the inclusion of sesame seeds and spices contributes fiber, antioxidants, and certain minerals. Bakharwadi is ideal as an occasional indulgence and pairs well with a cup of tea or coffee. Opting for baked versions can make this snack a slightly healthier alternative while retaining its signature taste.
