Tandul Kurdai (तांदूळ कुरडई) is a traditional Maharashtrian snack made primarily from rice flour, water, and a few basic spices356. The mixture is cooked, shaped using a chakli mold, and then sun-dried for a couple of days to achieve its signature crispiness. Once dried, Tandul Kurdai can be stored for months and is typically deep-fried before serving, resulting in a light, crunchy, and fluffy accompaniment that pairs well with meals or chutneys17. This snack is especially popular during summer and is a staple in many Maharashtrian households
