    Tirunelveli Halwa Recipe

    This halwa was on my to do list for ages. Finally me and mom made it couple days back and it was a huge hit. I shared it on my youtube channel and it was pretty success. So i thought of sharing step wise pictures on blog too.

    About Tirunelveli Halwa

    Tirunelveli is famous for a sweet called, 'Iritu kadai halwa'. Tirunelveli is also known for halwa, a sweet made of wheat, sugar and ghee. It originated during the mid-1800s at Lakshmi Vilas Stores, which still exist. The art of sweet-making spread to other parts of Tamil Nadu, such as Nagercoil, Srivilliputhur and Thoothukudi. Tirunelveli halwa was popularised by Irutukadai Halwa, a shop opened in 1900 which sells the sweets only during twilight.

    Tirunelveli Halwa Ingredients

    Wheat - In the making of tirunelveli halwa we use either wheat, wheat rava or wheat flour. The starch from the wheat is extracted and used to make halwa.

    Sugar- caramelized sugar is used to achieve the colour in halwa.

    Ghee- Use pure desi ghee for making this halwa. which adds to the aroma and taste.
