Kurdai is a traditional Maharashtrian savoury food which is quite similar to papad. It is traditionally made from wheat flour but here the chef makes it using rice flour. Kurdai like papad are sun dried so they are made in summer, sun dried and stored. They can be used whenever required.

A Maharashtrian festival meal is incomplete without kurdai. This crunchy delicacy makes for a great combination with aamras during the summer mango season.

The crunchy, crispy Kurdai enhances the flavours of your meals.
