Gavvalu

Gavvalu is a traditional, crispy, and sweet Indian snack, particularly popular in Andhra Pradesh, Telangana, and other South Indian states. The name “Gavvalu” means “shell” in Telugu, and the snack is shaped like small shells. These crispy, deep-fried treats are made with rice flour and are coated with sugar syrup to give them a sweet, crunchy texture.

Gavvalu is typically made during festivals, special occasions, or as a homemade treat for guests and family. Its unique shape and texture make it a fun and delightful snack for children and adults alike.

Nutritional Benefits:
