About the bellam gavvalu

Welcome to Mana Ruchulu home-made traditional foods. Bellam Gavvalu are not just a sweet treat—they take us back to old-fashioned South Indian kitchens where love and culture mix in every bite.

These golden shell-shaped treats covered in sweet jaggery are a must-eat during holidays or whenever you want a taste of the past. At our sweet shop, we offer you the real taste of Bellam Gavvalu, made fresh with love and attention.

We have two options for purchasing bellam gavvalu: either a 500 gm pack or a 1 kg pack.

In Telugu, the word Gavvalu means shells because of their shell-like shape. This special shape is made by rolling small pieces of dough on a traditional wooden board or a fork. After frying until crispy and golden brown, these shells are covered in a delicious jaggery syrup, making them incredibly sweet and crunchy.

Bellam Gavvalu is a popular sweet treat in South Indian homes, especially during festivals like Diwali Ugadi and Sankranti. It is a symbol of joy and celebration during these special occasions.

How can we make perfect bellam gavvalu?

Begin by combining wheat flour with a little bit of ghee. Slowly mix in water or milk until the dough is smooth and easy to shape. The dough needs to be just right—not too soft or too hard—so that it’s easy to shape. Take a little bit of the dough, make it into small balls, and press them against a special board or fork to make the classic shell shape. This task may take some time and practice, but the results are very satisfying.

Begin by heating oil in a deep frying pan. Then fry the shaped gavvalu on medium heat until they become a nice golden brown color. The moderate temperature makes sure that the food is crunchy on the outside and cooked just right on the inside. In another pan, heat jaggery with a little water until it boils and becomes sticky. Sprinkle a little cardamom powder to give a nice smell. Put the fried gavvalu into the syrup, making sure each piece is covered evenly.
