Famous Tirunelveli Halwa @ Iruttukadai
Tirunelveli Halwa is a legendary dessert famous for its melt-in-the-mouth texture and rich ghee flavor. Made from slow-cooked wheat milk, sugar, and generous amounts of ghee, its unique taste is traditionally attributed to the mineral-rich waters of the Thamirabarani River.
Interestingly though there are so many shops in Tirunelveli (available in every place these days!) – there is one shop where crowds throng - the century-old Iruttu Kadai Halwa (meaning "Dark Shop"), located near the Sri Nellaiyappar Temple in Tirunelveli.
The shops opens only
5 pm and understand that will be closed sooner once the stock of the day is
sold !! Just see the queue waiting in
front of this shop. : https://youtu.be/N-pUtjPv8j0
.. .. .. any reference to Tirunelveli Halwa would take you to that famous Vikram song from ‘Saami’ – but here is another பழமையான தமிழ் பாடல் "வண்டே அல்வா துண்டே" (Vandey Halwa Thunde) from 'குசுமலதா' [Kusumalatha]released in 1951 sung by JB Chandrababu and MR Shakunthala
