• Now grease the rolling base and rolling pin with PUVI Cold Pressed Sesame Oil.
• Roll them into a round / square shape making them slightly thicker than chapati.
• Further spread a tsp of tamarind chutney leaving the sides.
• Spread the prepared masala stuffing leaving the sides.
• Now grease water on sides to seal the ends while rolling.
• Slowly roll the dough very tightly, making sure there are no gaps. Else while deep frying, bhakarwadi will fall apart.
• Further, cut the roll to 2 cm long or as desired.
• Press and flatten slightly. This helps layers and masala to be intact.
• Heat the oil on medium heat, and deep fry the rolls on low flame.
• Stir occasionally till they turn golden brown and crisp.
• Drain the bhakarwadi on a kitchen towel to remove excess oil.
• Finally, serve bhakarwadi with masala tea or store in an airtight container once cooled completely for a month.
