Gummadi Vadiyalu From Andhra

Product details

Gummadi Vadiyalu, from the cookbook Godavari Ruchulu, are a traditional Telugu snack known for their unique texture and savory flavor. These crispy, round vadiyalu (or vadams) are made from a mixture of rice flour, urad dal flour, and a blend of spices. The dough is seasoned with ingredients like cumin, black pepper, and sometimes even a touch of chili powder, then shaped into small discs and sun-dried until they become crisp.

Once dried, Gummadi Vadiyalu can be deep-fried until golden brown, giving them a delightful crunch and a burst of flavor. They are often enjoyed as a side dish or snack, accompanied by rice and curry, or simply eaten on their own with a cup of tea. The preparation method and ingredients can vary slightly depending on regional preferences, but they are always cherished for their distinctive taste and satisfying crunch.
