Karam Gavvalu (Spiced Whole wheat Shells)

Spiced Whole wheat Shells

In Telugu, Gavvalu means shells, inspired by their beautiful curved shape that resembles sea shells or temple carvings. Traditionally made in Andhra homes during festivals, Karam Gavvalu are known for their crisp texture and bold spice, a balance of warmth and crunch that pairs perfectly with evening chai.

Mothers and grandmothers would shape each piece by hand, pressing dough gently against a gavvalu plate or comb, an act of patience and love that turned a simple snack into a festive ritual.

At Sahrudaya, we stay true to this legacy, crafting our Karam Gavvalu from whole wheat, jaggery, and spices, then frying them golden for that perfect bite. The shape may be small, but the story behind it holds generations of care, a classic Andhra delicacy reimagined for modern snacking.
