Pindi Vadiyalu From Andhra

Product details

Pindi Vadiyalu, featured in Godavari Ruchulu, are a cherished delicacy from the Godavari region of Andhra Pradesh. These vadiyalu (also known as vadams) are beloved for their crispiness and distinct flavor.

To make Pindi Vadiyalu, a mixture of rice flour and urad dal flour is prepared, often seasoned with spices such as cumin, black pepper, and sometimes a hint of chili powder. The dough is shaped into small, round discs and traditionally sun-dried until they become hard and crisp.

Once dried, Pindi Vadiyalu are typically deep-fried to achieve a golden-brown color and a crunchy texture. They are often enjoyed as a snack or as a crunchy accompaniment to meals, providing a delightful contrast to softer dishes. Their preparation method, involving sun-drying and frying, ensures they are full of flavor and have a satisfying crunch.
