Nuvvulu

Nuvvulu (Sesame Seeds) are a powerhouse of nutrition and a foundational ingredient in South Indian cuisine. Whether used as a crunchy topping for savories like Sakinalu and Murukulu or ground into a rich, aromatic paste for traditional sweets like Chimmili, these tiny seeds offer a distinct nutty flavor and a delicate "pop" in every bite.
