If you're wondering how to make khapli wheat bhakarwadi, choosing a quality flour makes all the difference. Made with Aashirvaad Khapli Atta, the bhakarwadi dough develops a hearty texture and nutty flavour that pairs well with the sweet, spicy, and tangy stuffing. Khapli wheat is also naturally low in sugars and fat, making it a good choice for those wanting to add more nutrients to their diet. The atta’s nutrients support digestion, muscle health and provide no energy spikes or crashes.
Make this tasty treat for your family to share during tea time, and to make it easier, this khapli wheat bhakarwadi has been mixed with the usual maida to still get the crispy results.
