Kurdai / Kurdaya are a kind of savoury fried sides served along with a meal, just like papads. They are made from wheat and are usually made during the summer when there is ample of heat. They are shaped round like a chakli but the sticky dough is passed through a sev press so they look like small dried rounds of semiya / shevaya / vermicilli.

Every house usually in villages had a terrace or open space around the house so there was enough space around to dry them up in the suns heat. Unfortunately there is complete space crunch in the cities and that makes it difficult. To top it up, it is a little time consuming process spread over around 3 days, which is a deterrent in itself.
Thankfully they are available in the market. Here I have used the store brought ones.
