Product informationGuvvalu is a classic Telugu sweet that is enjoyed throughout the
Telangana region, particularly during festive occasions like
Sankranti,
Ugadi, and
Diwali, as well as family celebrations and religious offerings. The name “Guvvalu” literally means “shells” in Telugu, and the sweet is named after its unique oval shape, resembling the shells found in nature. At
Supriya Telangana Pindi Vantalu and Pickles, we prepare
Guvvalu with the utmost care to maintain the traditional flavors that have been cherished for generations.The base of
Guvvalu is made from
rice flour, which is mixed with a little water and
jaggery to form a dough. The dough is flavored with
cardamom powder and sometimes a dash of
coconut to enhance the taste. The dough is then shaped into small, oval or shell-like shapes, giving it its distinctive appearance. Once shaped, the
Guvvalu are deep-fried in
ghee or
oil until golden brown and crispy. The crispy texture outside contrasts with the soft, melt-in-your-mouth inside, offering a delightful crunch in every bite.
