Minapa Vadiyalu

Minapa Vadiyalu — urad dal fryums — are a protein-rich traditional Andhra fryum with a denser, more satisfying crunch than rice-based varieties. Made with urad dal, salt, cumin, green chillies and curry leaves, shaped by hand and sun-dried until perfectly dry, they fry up into golden, crispy vadiyalu with a distinctive nutty urad dal flavour.

Our Minapa Vadiyalu are handmade in small batches following the exact traditional method — no shortcuts, no artificial additives and no preservatives. A classic Telugu side dish that adds both crunch and nutrition to any meal.
