Fryumes with Urad Dal Skin (Pottu Vadiyalu)
Pottu Vadiyalu are traditional Indian fryumes prepared using Urad Dal Flour, Rice Flour, Green Chilli and Urad Dal Skin.
The inclusion of Urad Dal Skin (Pottu) gives these fryumes their traditional character and texture. The prepared mixture is shaped into small fryumes and dried before packing.
Once dried, they can be fried in hot oil to make a crispy and crunchy accompaniment for traditional meals.

Our Ingredients & Sourcing Approach
We use traditional/indigenous varieties of grains and pulses wherever applicable.
The Urad Dal and Rice used for the preparation are sourced through various farming families and agricultural sources in India. We do not intentionally adulterate our products or add undeclared ingredients.
The actual farming source may vary from batch to batch depending on seasonal availability and sourcing.
We do not represent the product as certified organic unless the applicable certification is available.
Traditional Preparation
Urad dal flour, rice flour, green chilli and urad dal skin are combined to prepare the traditional fryume mixture. The mixture is then shaped into small portions and naturally dried.
Proper drying reduces moisture and makes the fryumes suitable for storage and later frying.
How to Prepare
- Heat cooking oil properly.
- Add the required quantity of dried Pottu Vadiyalu.
- Fry until they become crisp and lightly golden.
- Remove and drain excess oil.
- Serve as a crispy accompaniment with your meal.
Common Ways to Serve
Pottu Vadiyalu can be served with:
- Rice and dal
- Sambar rice
- Rasam rice

- Traditional South Indian meals
Natural Characteristics
As a traditionally prepared dried product, Pottu Vadiyalu may naturally vary in:
- Size and shape
- Colour
- Thickness
- Texture
- Chilli intensity
- Crispness after frying
These variations can occur between batches due to the natural ingredients and drying conditions.
Storage & Storage Pests
Because these are naturally dried food products, proper storage is important.
Warm and humid conditions can sometimes lead to storage insects or pests in dried food products. The presence of an occasional storage insect does not automatically mean that the product has been adulterated.
For best storage:
- Store in a clean, completely dry, airtight container.
- Keep away from moisture and humidity.
- Store in a cool, dry place.
- Keep away from direct sunlight and heat.
- Always use a clean, dry spoon or utensil.
- Do not allow water or moisture to enter the container.
About Fungus & White Worms
Exposure to moisture or unsuitable storage conditions can result in fungal growth/mould or insect larvae (white worms).
We generally do not replace the product for normal natural variation or occasional storage insects.
However, if you receive a product showing visible fungus/mould, white worms/larvae or significant deterioration, please contact us with clear photographs and your order details so that we can review the issue.
