It is believed to have originated in Maharashtra but also very popular in Gujarat.[3] Chitale Bandhu of Pune popularized the snack by distributing it nationally and internationally.[4][5] It was popularized by Raghunathrao Chitale, a Marathi businessman.

Recipe

Bakarwadi is made from gram flour dough made into spirals stuffed with a mixture of coconut, poppy seeds and sesame seeds. It is then fried until it gets crispy. It can be stored for weeks[6] and enjoyed as an evening snack.[7]

Bhakarwadi aired on Sony SAB from 2019 to 2020. The comedy revolves around two neighboring families in Pune - one Marathi and other Gujarati - that differ in their attitudes towards the snack.[8]
