| Bakarvadi or Bhakhar Badi |
|
Pune has a famous mithai shop known as Chitale Bandhu. One of its famous products is Bakarvadi and this year it found its way to Australia. It is nice, provided you don't find any foreign objects inside. Today I tried a northern imitator from Bikano called "Bhakhar Badi". Its box proclaims, in typical Indian English (which is often stingy with articles): "A Quality product in the great Indian tradition of hospitability (sic), made from best of ingredients, hygienically processed, especially packed for long shelf life and freshness of flavour." It was quite edible, although it had more dough than filling compared to the genuine article from Pune. Check it out. |
