Gummadikaya Vadiyalu

Gummadikaya Vadiyalu are one of the most unique and seasonal traditional fryums of Andhra Pradesh — made with fresh pumpkin, rice flour, salt and cumin, shaped by hand and sun-dried until perfectly dry. When fried they develop a distinctive mild, slightly sweet pumpkin flavour with a satisfying crunch that is completely different from any other vadiyalu.

A seasonal specialty that is rarely found commercially — our Gummadikaya Vadiyalu are handmade in small batches when pumpkin is at its freshest, following the exact traditional Andhra method.

Why our Gummadikaya Vadiyalu are different:

• Made with fresh pumpkin — seasonal and natural
• Unique mild sweet pumpkin flavour
• Traditional sun-drying method
• No preservatives, no artificial additives
• Rare seasonal specialty — rarely found commercially
• Handmade in small batches

Best enjoyed: Deep fried or air fried until crispy and golden. Serve as a unique side with rice meals.

Storage: Store in a cool dry place in an airtight container. Keep away from moisture before frying.

Tip: A unique and seasonal Andhra fryum — the pumpkin gives a naturally mild sweet flavour that pairs beautifully with spicy Andhra curries and pickles.
