Gummadi Vadiyalu: A Sweet & Crunchy Classic Snack

Welcome to Mana Ruchulu, homemade traditional foods. Gummadi Vadiyalu, also known as pumpkin fritters, are a delightful South Indian snack that blends tradition with flavor. Made with fresh pumpkin, spices, and lentil flours, these crispy treats offer a perfect balance of natural sweetness and crunch. Popular during festivals and special occasions, they are loved for their taste, nutrition, and versatility.

Ingredients of Gummadi Vadiyalu

• Fresh Pumpkin (Gummadi Kaya): Shredded pumpkin adds natural sweetness and a smooth texture.
• Rice Flour: Ensures a light, crispy texture when fried.
• Urad Dal Flour (Black Gram Lentil Flour): Adds protein and a mild nutty flavor.
• Green Chilies: Provides a subtle spicy kick.
• Cumin Seeds: Enhances aroma and flavor.
• Salt: Balances sweetness and spices.
• Water: Helps create a smooth, uniform batter.

Why Choose Our Gummadi Vadiyalu?

• Naturally Sweet & Nutritious: Packed with the goodness of fresh pumpkin.
• Versatile Snack: Perfect on its own or as a side with rice and curries.
• Convenient: Sun-dried and easy to store for later use.
• Long Shelf Life: Up to 365 days when stored properly.

How Are Gummadi Vadiyalu Made?

Fresh pumpkin is shredded and mixed with rice flour, urad dal flour, green chilies, cumin seeds, salt, and water to form a thick batter. Small portions are placed on flat surfaces or banana leaves and sun-dried for 1–2 days until moisture-free. The dried vadiyalu are stored in airtight containers and fried in hot oil until golden brown, resulting in a crispy, flavorful snack.

Why Our Gummadi Vadiyalu Stand Out

At Mana Ruchulu, we use fresh, hand-picked pumpkins and natural ingredients, with no preservatives or artificial additives. Our traditional sun-drying methods ensure the vadiyalu retain authentic taste, crunch, and nutrition. Perfect for special occasions or everyday snacking, these fritters bring the classic flavors of South India straight to your table.
