Yes. Poha Mirgund is a traditional type of poha papad made from flattened rice. The name Mirgund reflects its Konkani food tradition and distinctive small rectangular form.
It is made with just three ingredients: flattened rice, red chilli and salt.
Poha Mirgund is made primarily from flattened rice and is shaped into small rectangular pieces rather than the larger round form commonly associated with papad. It has a light, crisp texture and a mildly spiced flavour after cooking.
Flattened rice is prepared into a dough, shaped into small pieces and sun-dried using traditional methods. The dried pieces are then cooked before eating.
Aazol’s Poha Mirgund is made in Daund, Maharashtra and is rooted in Konkani traditions of preparing sun-dried foods for everyday meals.
Poha Mirgund is traditionally popular during the monsoon in the Konkan because rough seas make fishing difficult and the season also overlaps with the fish breeding period, when fresh seafood is less commonly eaten. Families traditionally prepared and sun-dried Mirgund in advance so it could be stored and enjoyed as a crunchy accompaniment with everyday meals during the rains.
