About Us

Tenkasi is a Junction that is situated in Tirunelveli District Tamil Nadu. This place is very famous for its Halwa – The jelly like sweet made out of wheat and ghee that almost melts in your mouth! In fact, Periya Lala Kadai Halwa has become a brand in itself! It is easily one of the best sweets available.

People here say that the halwa recipe is more than hundred years old. Some say that the halwa recipe has come to the South from North India. In fact, the owner of a hugely popular stall called ‘Sri Krishna Vilas Puradhana Periya Lala Kadai’) is a North Indian, perhaps settled here. It is also said that the halwa gets its special taste because of the water that is used to prepare the same is taken from Coutrallam which Flows nearby. The halwa bought from Sri Krishna Vilas Puradhana Periya Lala Kadai doesn’t get spoilt even for a Month of time. In fact, the people say that the halwa tastes better after a month! And yeah, there is not even a single Advertisement for this shop.
