Five Quick Recipes You Can Make Using Babus Chiwda, Farsan and Bakarwadi proves one simple truth: you do not need a full kitchen production to impress people. With the right chiwda, farsan and Bakarwadi from Babus Laxminarayan Best Chiwda, your snack shelf is already halfway to being a recipe book.
These five ideas are designed to be fast, fun and slightly experimental. Think of them as building blocks you can tweak, dress up or keep completely simple depending on your mood and the occasion.
1. Breakfast Chiwda Yogurt Bowl
This is for the days when you want breakfast that feels café style but takes less than ten minutes.
You will need
- Poha Chiwda, Lite Chiwda or Patal Poha Chiwda from BLBC
- Thick curd or Greek yogurt
- Cut fruit: banana, apple or pomegranate
- A drizzle of honey or date syrup (optional)
-
Roasted seeds or nuts (optional)
How to make it
- In a bowl, add chilled curd and whisk till smooth.
- Add chopped fruit on one side.
- Add a generous handful of chiwda on the other side. Poha Chiwda feels classic, Lite Chiwda feels extra light, Patal Poha Chiwda gives delicate crunch.
-
Top with a drizzle of honey and a few seeds or nuts if you like.
You get creamy, cold, fruity and crunchy in one spoonful. It is a great way to turn everyday chiwda into a proper breakfast that still feels like a snack.

2. Farsan-loaded Dahi Papdi Chaat
This one is a party trick. Classic dahi papdi chaat gets an extra kick of texture when you replace or mix part of the topping with farsan.
You will need
- Mix Farsan from BLBC
- Ready papdi or small mathri
- Thick curd
- Green chutney and tamarind chutney
- Chaat masala, red chilli powder, roasted jeera powder
-
Coriander and pomegranate for garnish
How to make it
- Lay papdi on a plate.
- Add a spoon of thick curd on each papdi.
- Add a small spoon of Mix Farsan instead of the usual sev.
- Drizzle green chutney and tamarind chutney.
-
Finish with a sprinkle of chaat masala, chilli, jeera, coriander and a few pomegranate pearls.
It still tastes like the chaat everyone loves, but the flavour complexity of Mix Farsan makes it feel more layered, more grown up and a lot more fun.
3. Bakarwadi Chaat Cones
This is an experimental but very addictive idea. Instead of serving Bakarwadi in a plain bowl, you combine it with a mini fresh chaat inside a small cone or katori.
You will need
- Bakarwadi from BLBC
- Finely chopped onion and tomato
- Boiled potato cubes or boiled chana
- Green chutney, tamarind chutney
- Nylon sev (optional)
- Lemon and coriander
-
Small readymade cones, pani puri shells or katori-style papdis
How to make it
- In a mixing bowl, combine chopped onion, tomato, potato or chana.
- Add salt, chaat masala, a squeeze of lemon and coriander. Mix well.
- Fill each cone or katori halfway with this fresh mixture.
- Place one Bakarwadi on top or crush a large piece and use as the final topping.
-
Add a small drizzle of chutney and a sprinkle of sev if you like.
You get the crunchy, sweet-spicy warmth of Bakarwadi with the freshness of chaat in a single bite. It looks impressive on a party platter and uses almost no cooking.

4. Chiwda and Farsan Upgrade Khichdi
This is the clever comfort food recipe. Simple dal khichdi becomes something special with a crunchy layer on top.
You will need
- Warm, freshly cooked dal khichdi or plain rice and dal
- Poha Chiwda or Lite Chiwda from BLBC
- Mix Farsan from BLBC
- Ghee
-
Fresh coriander and lemon
How to make it
- Plate hot khichdi in a bowl.
- In a separate small bowl, combine equal parts Poha Chiwda or Lite Chiwda with Mix Farsan.
- Just before serving, add a spoon of this crunchy mix on top of the khichdi.
-
Drizzle a little ghee, add coriander and a squeeze of lemon.
The hot soft base plus the crunchy topping plus the aroma of ghee makes this perfect for lazy evenings, quick solo dinners or late night hunger. It is also very flexible, you can adjust how much crunch you want.
5. Masala Boondi and Bakarwadi Fusion Raita
Raita is usually the side dish. This version is bold enough to become the hero of the table.
You will need
- Masala Bundi from BLBC
- Bakarwadi from BLBC
- Thick curd
- Roasted jeera powder, salt, black pepper
- Finely chopped cucumber or onion (optional)
-
Coriander and a tiny pinch of chilli powder
How to make it

- Add salt, roasted jeera and pepper to taste.
- Stir in chopped cucumber or onion if you like a more substantial raita.
- Just before serving, fold in a generous handful of Masala Bundi.
- Crush a few pieces of Bakarwadi into chunky bits and sprinkle on top like croutons.
-
Garnish with coriander and a light dusting of chilli.
You get creamy, tangy, spicy, crunchy and sweet all in one. This raita works beautifully with pulao, parathas, tandoori-style dishes or even as a standalone bowl at brunch.
