The importance of food in different festivities can never be overestimated and here we are, helping you give your taste buds some exercise by snacking on authentic Maharashtrian cuisine by an age-old brand- Chitale Bandhu.
Authentic Maharashtrian Delicacies that everyone grew up with: Chitale Bandhu
Most people who have grown up in Maharashtrian families would tell you that any special occasion or ordinary day was incomplete without snacks and sweets from Chitale Bandhu, be it the spicy bhakarwadi or the savoury Patal Poha Chivda. An essential part of our childhood, have you ever wondered how Chitale Bandhu came to become one of the most trusted brands in the country and even the world?
Chitale Bandhu: The Story behind the Brand
The website of Chitale Bandhu tells their story very well:
Humble Beginnings
“The veins of the rich Chitale legacy trace back to 1939, when the visionary Late Shri. Bhaskar Ganesh Chitale started a humble milk distribution business at Bhilawadi in the Sangli district. This marked the beginning of the first-ever entrepreneurial dairying revolution in India. This worthy lineage was ably carried forward by his sons.”
Chitale Bandhu Sweets
At the beginning of the 1950s, the establishment of Chitale Bandhu Mithaiwale by Raghunath Chitale, affectionately known as Bhausaheb, gave a new direction to the brand. This phase overlapped with the steady growth of the confectionary wing, marked by the establishment of manufacturing and retail outlets for mithai and snacks as well. A foundation strongly engraved in the ethos of quality, excellence and superior customer service has enabled the company to expand to international markets. The far-reaching appeal is evidenced through the increasing demand for its products in the international markets.

The Legendary Bhakarwadi
A classic example of this is the very popular Bakarwadi, a quintessential Maharashtrian item with a legacy as rich as its ingredients. One simple google search would make you realise that bhakarwadi is not just any product to be found in a store. It is a carefully made delicacy with its very own secret recipe.
A Maharashtrian delicacy with Gujarati origins?
Bhakarwadi is a beloved Maharashtrian snack, but its origins lie in Gujarat. The Gujarati bhakarwadi are sweet, laced with a hint of sourness and spice. The deep-fried delightful snack has been a favourite in the Western parts of India.
How is this delicacy made? Let’s take a look
The preparation follows a simple yet secretive process: rolling out bales and bales of clingy besan dough, slathering a secret spice mix within, and then tug and roll them into perfect little cigarettes, that are flattened and sliced into bhakarwadi.
These little whorls are then dunked into enormous kadhais of bubbling oil, from whence they emerge spackled with a beautiful golden char. The trick lies in the perfect balance of its ingredients and the precise stuffing, which shouldn't leak out when fried.
Well, how did bhakarwadi enter the Maharashtrian Palate?
It entered the Maharashtrian palate when Raghunathrao Chitale first tasted the little snack, in 1970 and decided to make some changes and bring it back home. He inflamed it with more spice, making it more suitable for Maharashtrian palates, and started selling it at their store, Chitale Bandhu, in Pune. The rest, as they say, is culinary history.
The wild popularity of bhakarwadi prompted them to try and automate the entire process. Today, their bhakarwadi is made in the most hygienic environment with the best of ingredients in an entirely automated process.
