  • Further spread tamarind chutney leaving the sides.
  • Spread the prepared masala stuffing leaving the sides.
  • Now grease water on sides to seal the ends while rolling.
  • Slowly roll the dough very tightly, making sure there are no gaps (else while deep frying, bhakarwadi will fall apart).
