Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Whole wheat flour
- 0.5 cup All-purpose flour
- 2 tablespoons Semolina (Rava)
- 0.25 cup Low-fat yogurt
- 0.5 teaspoon Turmeric powder
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 1 tablespoon Oil
- 1 tablespoon Poppy seeds
- 1 tablespoon Sesame seeds
- 0.25 cup Grated coconut
- 2 teaspoons Coriander powder
- 1 teaspoon Cumin powder
- 1 teaspoon Red chili powder
- 1 teaspoon Garam masala
- 1 teaspoon Fennel seeds
- 1 tablespoon Sugar
- 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
- 2 tablespoons Fresh coriander leaves, chopped
- 0.5 cup (approx) Water
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine whole wheat flour, all-purpose flour, semolina, turmeric powder, and salt.
Add oil and yogurt to the flour mixture; mix well using your fingers until the texture resembles breadcrumbs.
Gradually add water and knead to form a firm, smooth dough. Cover and set aside for at least 15 minutes.
To prepare the filling, heat a small pan over low heat and dry roast the poppy seeds, sesame seeds, and fennel seeds until aromatic. Allow to cool slightly.
In a bowl, combine the roasted seeds with grated coconut, coriander powder, cumin powder, red chili powder, garam masala, sugar, lemon juice, and chopped coriander leaves. Mix well to form a uniform mixture.
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Divide the dough into two equal portions. Roll each portion into a thin rectangular sheet on a lightly floured surface.
Spread the prepared filling evenly over each rolled sheet, pressing it down gently.
From one end, start rolling the sheet tightly like a Swiss roll. Once rolled, cut into 1/2 inch thick slices.
Arrange the slices on the prepared baking sheet with the spiral side facing up. Lightly press each slice to flatten it slightly.
Bake in the preheated oven for about 20-25 minutes, flipping halfway, until golden brown and crispy.
Let the bhakarwadi cool completely on a wire rack before storing in an airtight container. Serve as a low-fat snack.
