Description
Made during the hot Indian summers, Gahu Kurdai is a labor of love that’s been passed down through generations. Traditionally prepared in Maharashtrian homes when the sun was just right, this intricate snack involves fermenting whole wheat, grinding it into a silky batter, and then skillfully piping it into delicate spirals that dry under the sun’s warmth.
At Shidori, we preserve this slow, beautiful craft by partnering with rural women who prepare Kurdai the traditional way. It’s more than a snack — it’s a story of summer vacations, sun-drenched terraces, and the joyful crunch shared with every bite.
