Making of Hot Gavvalu:
A simple three ingredient snack that grabs the heart of all Andhraites is this Hot Gavvalu. Rice flour / all purpose flour are mixed with red chilli powder and salt to prepare a thick dough consistency. This dough is then pressed and rolled into shells called hot gavvalus, which is further fried in the oil. It requires a lot of patience and special equipments like Gavvalu Peeta / Gavvalu Chekka which is a serrated wooden board that makes the preparation process of Gavvalu easier to press and roll in shell shape. Even if you don’t have this equipment you can use the back side of a fork but rolling them to form small rounds becomes difficult. Other than all this we would suggest you an easy method to taste this yummy recipe. It is to purchase online from Sitara and only spend your efforts to taste it.
Recently, people make more additions to this normal gavvalu like mixing oats with the flour to make oats gavvalu or mixing grated carrot to make carrot gavvalu. You can be innovative enough to make new things or buy and serve your family the conventional, traditional, hereditary, hot gavvalus.
