Papu Garelu

Experience the authentic crunch of South India with our Pappu Garelu. These savory, golden-brown rice crackers are a staple of Telugu tradition, known for their addictive texture and earthy aroma. Each cracker is hand-pressed and generously embedded with soaked Chana Dal (Bengal Gram), providing a delightful contrast between the thin, crispy rice base and the hearty, toasted lentils. Seasoned with fresh curry leaves, cumin, and a hint of chili, they are the perfect "anytime" snack.
