Know Your Maker
Maharashtrian farsan brings familiar flavors to festive gatherings and everyday snack breaks. This chivda draws on traditional recipes, roasted grains, nuts and a fragrant spice tempering.
In Satara, Maharashtra, this culinary heritage is upheld by Asha Jadhav Tai of Asha Foods.
Known for her traditional spice blends (Kala Masala, Goda Masala), regional pickles, and festive faral like our Chakli, Shankarpali, and Jowar-Besan Sev, Asha Tai’s recipes carry culinary wisdom passed down to her by her mother-in-law.
Empowering Women in Rural Satara
Operating out of Satara, Asha Tai works with local women to prepare traditional snacks. Together, they dry-roast thick Dagdi Poha, slice dried coconut, select curry leaves, and prepare fragrant temperings.
The Art of the Perfect Tadka
When crafting this Dagdi Poha Chivda for Past In Present Agro, Asha Tai brings together roasted grains, nuts and a spice tempering:
-
Thick Dagdi Poha & Jowar Flakes: Carefully roasted until crisp so the grains hold their shape.
-
Rich Nut & Seed Mix: Tossed with cashews, almonds, peanuts, roasted dal, and crisp jowar sev.
-
Aromatic Wood-Pressed Tempering: Mustard seeds, cumin, green chilies, and curry leaves are sizzled in Past In Present Agro’s wood-pressed groundnut oil and folded gently into the roasted mix.
Roasted poha, nuts and a fragrant ghani-oil tadka bring together the flavors of Maharashtrian home cooking.
