May 5, 2019, 4:36 amI lived in Ahmedabad for long, but never tried out any Parsi delicacies. My bad! Never heard of the Parsi Industrial either. What exactly is it?
The bhakras look awesome! I’ll surely try making these at home. 🙂

May 5, 2019, 4:38 amThese look like something we have at home, but different spices. Do you think they can be made with milk or juice instead of toddy? Thanks for sharing at Fiesta Friday.

May 5, 2019, 9:32 amYes, you can substitute “apple cider juice” for “toddy”. Add 1/2 tsp of baking powder with juice.

May 5, 2019, 9:40 amGood to meet another Ahmedabad girl 🙂
Parsi Industrial has been around for over 50 years now. It is like the RTI in Mumbai.
It is located in Khanpur, opp Khanpur Darwaja in Ahmedabad. Also know as the ”
Zoroastrian Ladies Indusrial Co-operative Society.”
I attached a photo of the box with address. They supply lunch, dinner (Bhonu) for seniors too.

Jun 6, 2020, 10:07 pmHi Rita, I make bhakras at home but when I fry them they always fati jai. Can you tell me what I can do.
Rita
Jun 6, 2020, 9:45 amHi Rashna, Bhakhra fati jai – the bhakhra split and scatter in the oil right? Are you using this recipe and what are you using toddy or beer?
