Iruttukadai Tirunelveli Halwa

Hard core tamilians and sweet tongues would never have missed out on tasting this delicacy. Considered to be traditionally followed from a group of Punjabis, this Halwa has become the brand ambassador of Tirunelveli today. Today a number of different varieties of this are in the market, but the true taste of Iruttukadai is just mind-blowing.

                 A small shop in front of the Nellaiyappar Temple with a single wooden rack might amaze the people wrt infrastructure considering the popularity the sweet has received. It is very different from the normal cake-like halwa. There are restrictions on the amount of Halwa that you get during each buy and mostly the Halwa is provided on a banana leaf. The very sight of the halwa on the banana leaf- hot and dipping in ghee would awaken your senses.
