Aryaas Sweets & Bakery's — Restaurant in Tamil Nadu

Eruttu Kadai halwa shop, opposite to the historic nellaiappar temple ,is 'dimly lit' and opens five at evening and closes at 8 !!! Hence the name "iruttu kadai".. While many companies/MNCs are spending lakhs and crores in their advertisements,this shop doesn't carry  even a sign or name board !! The queue starts to form an hour before the shop opens and mostly people outside the town occupies it !!! I would say that this uniqueness in taste could be mainly attributed to "Thamirabarani" sweet waters .. Im sure ,nobody can disagree this ! Halwa is usually made from crushed juice taken out from well-soaked fresh wheat berries. The taste changes even if it is not soaked well or not boiled properly . iruttu kadai  is one that carefully looks after both.. The most important thing about halwa is the way it is stirred . Many halwa  shops ,because for its bulk production they go for machinery crushing and stirring of wheat juice but iruttu kadai always opts manual stirring ,though it's tedious!! Who knows,this could also be one of the reasons behind the mysterious taste !!

The purest form of ghee added and the way it is served hot , traditionally in plantain leaf(instead of plastic / butter papers which other shops provide..) will forever keep...

Best homemade "South Indian + Gujarati + Sourashtran" Halwa. Had to put it there so you dont have any misconceptions of what an Halwa would be. It is a small shop just across from the entrance of the infamous Nellaippar temple in the "Town" part of Tirunelveli. It opens up for a few hours in the evening and you can either choose to taste the hot halwa directly using a plantain leaf or take away to eat later. Or do both. Taste some and take away some is the best way to enjoy it. Probaby the best Halwa (see the defenition of this halwa above again) I have ever had. However it is a tough fight to get halwa. It is not about the push and shove, but you have to be there at the right time to get hold of it. Since there is no fixed timings, you need to be there very early on a particulary...

The name says it all. There are 1000s of Halwa shops at Thirunelveli and how to identify the original Irutu Kadai? The shop that's buzzing with people and is crowded always is the original Irutu Kadai. They close by 7.30 to 8 finishing everything sold out. Small shop and very difficult to identify since shop will have no name board or hoardings. Taste is divine and they don't have any other varieties in shop apart from Ghee Halwa. Just Ghee Halwa and thats there dish. Start a with half kg minimum and priced at Rs 200 got a kilo. You can get sample ghee Halwa a scoop for Rs 20. If it's Thirunelveli it should be Irutu Kada Halwa.
