sangli bhadang

its impossible to make a trip to sangli, in western maharashtra without being asked to get back some bhadang - a snack made from humble puffed rice and spiced up with peanuts, dry coconut shavings and sometimes some garlic and curry leaves. our family favourite is this one - gadkari bhadang - its sweet, hot and all kinds of tasty. can be had just as is or with chopped onions and coriander.
