About Punugulu
Punugulu is a popular South Indian snack, particularly from Andhra Pradesh, made from a fermented batter of rice and urad dal (split black gram). Crispy on the outside and soft inside, these savory fritters are spiced with ingredients like green chilies, onions, and cumin for added flavor. Punugulu is typically deep-fried, which gives it its rich texture but also makes it high in oil content. A good source of carbohydrates and protein from the rice and dal, it provides energy and essential nutrients, though its deep-fried preparation can increase calorie and fat levels. For a healthier alternative, some prefer using minimal oil or air frying. Traditionally served with coconut chutney or spicy tomato chutney, Punugulu is a satisfying but indulgent treat, best enjoyed in moderation as part of a balanced diet.
