Sugar and Ghee and you get the halwa from any sweet stall in
your nearby home. But you can’t get the taste and feel of
Tirunelveli Halwa.

Do you think that is only the preparation of a secret recipe? No,


not at all, the taste comes from the taste of the water of
perennial river Tamirabarani starting from Agasthiar Peak from
Western Ghats flowing into Pabanasam, Amba samudram and
then to the Tirunelveli town.

History of Tirunelveli Halwa: Halwa was introduced to the town


by the people migrated from Rajasthan to serve the
Chokkampatti Jamindhar with their extraordinary skills. With the
impressive taste, Jamindhar made them to stay here. This
happened in the late 19th century.  The Halwa makers are still
from the  same family with the rich tradition of Halwa making.

How it is Prepared: By soaking the fine Wheat berries in water


milk brew is got by crushing them. Usually this crushing is done
manually to get the fine taste. Here the Tirunelveli identity comes
into picture. Water is nothing but Tamiraparani Water…………! And
then cooking is done on dry wood fuel to get low intensity flame
which increases and enriches the taste.
