Baked spicy Bhakharwadis

Crisp, crunchy, golden , spicy treats. 
Baking is something I really enjoy and if I can get a fried food as close to frying by baking, it gives me a good high. Bhakharwadis are a delight to the palate wit their various tastes tingling on the tongue. My love for them started years ago on a train journey and the love hasn't stopped since then. The frying bit bothered me and decided to try baking them ...and lo....they came out really very well.So sharing my recipe here. I even went a step ahead and made them with atta instead of maida. Hope the affair with these beauty continues.
