Khudurukuni. The word comes from khuda (broken rice) and Rankuni (greedy) so greedy about Khuda. It also comes with a mythology of Ta’poi, the story of a young woman who faced torture at the hands of her sisters-in-law when her brothers were away in South Eastern countries for trade. She's given nothing but Khuda to eat. When Ta’poi worships Goddess Mangala, it is the divine intervention which sees her misery alleviated.
