Gummadi vadiyalu - Traditional Andhra Sun-Dried Pumpkin Fryums

Homemade Gummadi Vadiyalu Online — Traditional Andhra Sun-Dried Pumpkin Fryums from Tenali

At TenaliRuchulu, our Gummadi Vadiyalu are made exactly the way they have always been made in Andhra homes — with patience, sunshine, and no compromise on quality.

Ingredients: Ash Gourd, Urad Dal, Green Chilli, Ginger, and Salt.

USA & UK Shipping: Yes

We start with fresh, locally sourced ash gourd (Gummadikaya), grate it by hand, squeeze out the excess moisture, and mix it with a carefully balanced blend of urad dal batter, green chillies, cumin, and salt. Each vadiyalu is then shaped by hand and laid out to sun-dry slowly over multiple days until perfectly firm and ready to fry.

This traditional sun-drying process — the same one followed in Andhra homes for generations — gives our Gummadi Vadiyalu their distinct light crunch and deep, earthy flavor. No oven. No shortcuts. Just traditional Andhra sunshine.

Whether you fry them crispy as a side dish with dal and rice, crumble them into sambar, or simply enjoy them as a crunchy evening snack, they bring the comforting taste of homemade Andhra cuisine to your table.

Available in 500g and 1Kg packs. Freshly prepared in small batches and dispatched directly from Tenali, Andhra Pradesh.

Shelf Life & Storage

Shelf Life: 3–6 Months from the date of preparation when stored correctly.

• Store in an airtight container at room temperature, away from sunlight and humidity.

• Keep away from moisture — exposure to water or steam can soften the vadiyalu and reduce shelf life.

• No refrigeration needed — Gummadi Vadiyalu can be stored at room temperature when kept airtight and dry.

• Fry or roast before eating — do not consume directly from the pack. Deep fry in hot oil for 30–45 seconds until puffed and golden, or air-fry / dry roast for a lighter option.

• Best consumed fresh after frying — once fried, enjoy immediately for maximum crunch.

We dispatch only freshly prepared vadiyalu — never old stock.
