In this recipe post, I’ll share how to prepare wheatflour gavvalu.
Sweet shells or gavvalu are a popular snack made in Andhra Pradesh. The traditional gavvalu are made with all purpose flour / maida and sugar. Semi soft dough is made with flour and shaped into small balls. Then flattened or rolled to give them a shape of shell. Then deep fried in oil and then coated well with sugar syrup. These sweets shells can be stored in airtight container for up to a month.
Today for a change I have made these sweet shells with wheat flour and jaggery. I have added little sooji / semolina to the dough to give these shells a little extra crunch. Lets get started the recipe.
