Kharodi
Rice Kharodi, also known as Kharodya or Sandge, is a traditional Maharashtrian summer snack prepared using spiced rice dough. Shaped by hand and sun-dried naturally, it follows age-old practices that allow the flavours to develop slowly while preserving its authentic character.
Once deep-fried, Rice Kharodi transforms into light, crispy fritters with a satisfying crunch and a mildly spiced taste. Its bold texture and flavour make it an ideal accompaniment to everyday meals, adding contrast and richness to simple home-cooked food.
Traditionally prepared in summer and stored for year-round use, Rice Kharodi reflects the wisdom of traditional kitchens—simple ingredients, careful preparation, and flavours meant to be shared at the dining table.
