A serving of 15 fried Biyyam Vadiyalu contains approximately 150-180 calories. The exact number can vary based on the amount of oil absorbed during frying.
Biyyam Vadiyalu is a traditional, homemade snack that is naturally gluten-free. However, since it is deep-fried, it is high in calories and fat. It's best enjoyed in moderation as part of a balanced meal.
There are two common reasons for this. First, the vadiyalu might not have been dried completely. Any moisture will prevent them from puffing up. Second, the oil temperature might be incorrect. If the oil is not hot enough, they won't puff.
They should be completely hard, brittle, and translucent. When you try to break one, it should make a sharp snapping sound. There should be no softness or pliability.
Yes, you can make them with just rice, but sabudana is highly recommended. It adds a unique lightness and extra crispiness, and helps the vadiyalu puff up beautifully when fried.
When dried properly and stored in a completely airtight container away from moisture, Biyyam Vadiyalu can last for a year or even longer at room temperature.
