#Bandhan - Bhakarwadis are popular Maharashtrian savoury snack. So come lets relish them in a baked form, totally guilt free. They are far better than the fried ones and you can devour them with any spicy chutney or sauce as an appetizer too.

Traditionally they are deep fried but the baked ones are equally delicious. I gave my own twist to the original recipe and added few ingredients of my choice. So go ahead and try them by checking for a step by step method with pictures to prepare this yummy snack.
