I have been working here since last two months and not getting enough time to cook differently what i cook everyday. Most of the time i cook rice, dal, curry and roti.

Heat tawa and fry the roti on the sides,applying oil on both the sides while frying.

Bakarwadi

First time i ate Bakarwadi is when my brother-inlaw brought them from Pune. The taste was awesome and i still remember them after eating them 2 years back. I forgot what they are called and i chanced upon FB  update of Sangeetha Khanna where she posted pictures of bakarwadi. The best part about Sangeetha's recipe is that bakarwadi are baked not deep fried. I wanted to give it a try. Last Sunday i had much time during afternoon and i baked them. I changed the ingredients for the stuffing and did them as she mentioned in her recipe. The stuffing is  from Chakli blog. Here goes the recipe for baked Bakarwadi.

Ingredients:

Wheat flour 1 cup
Maida/all purpose flour 1 cup
Besan 1 cup
Oil 1/2 cup
Salt to taste
Ajwain 1/2 tsp
Soda bicarbonate 2 pinch.

Stuffing

Besan 2 tbsp
Poppy seeds 1 tbsp
Sesame seeds 1 tbsp
Fennel seeds powder 1 tsp
Ginger garlic paste 1 tsp
Sugar 2 tbsp
Red chilly powder 1 tsp
Coriander powder 1 tsp
Garam masala powder 1 tsp
Oil 1 tsp




Method:-

Mix all the ingredients of the dough with enough water and make a hard dough. Let the dough rest for while.

In the mean while prepare the stuffing.

Dry roast poppy seeds and sesame seeds. Keep aside.

Take oil in a pan, when hot add ginger garlic paste. Saute until the ginger garlic paste is cooked. Add besan to it. Saute for a while, then add red chilly powder, coriander powder, garam masala powder and salt.

Saute for another 2 minutes. Lastly add sugar, poppy seeds and sesame seeds. Let the mixture cools.

Pre heat the oven at 200 degrees Celsius.

Take a cricket ball size dough and flatten it with a rolling pin.

Spread 2 tbsp of the stuffing. Roll the flattened dough into a long log.

Then cut into log into 1 inch pieces.

Grease the baking tray and spread the bakarwadi in  a line giving enough space. Can see that in the picture above.

Bake for 15-20 minutes at 180 degree Celsius. When hot they are soft but the next day they are hard.
