Bhadang is a spicy Chivda (mixture ) made of puffed rice.This is a speciality of kolhapur.Some people use kolhapur kanda launch chutney instead of chilli powder to spice up this dish.I usually make it in a big batch and store it in an air tight container. I also use this as base to make bhel puri….it tastes awesome…..
