This is the Actual Halwa made of wheat. The other Halwa u usually eat is Suji halwa which is entirely different. Suji Halwa is relatively easy to make and literally takes 10min. This Halwa takes hours.
The "gooey" Halwa is actually the traditional one as it's said in the video it's usually made with wheat milk sugar and ghee Or semolina too sometimes. Halwa is supposed to be gooey jelly like. Carrot halwa is more towards kesari than halwa.
Kothu is chopped pieces of rotis, cut vegetables, spices, sauces / curries (optional) , pices of meat based on the type of the kothu (Chicken, Mutton, Egg) all added to together and chopped into very fine pices (kotththudhal in tamil means continuesly digging/chopping in one place ). It's very flavourful, spicey and tastes incredable ❤️
That is the tasty halwa u will eat in the world when u travel to madurai or tirunelveli. The taste is so unique to that part of the place u can never experience it other place.
That halwa is made of wheat, sugar and ghee, garnished with cashews. This is also called Thirunelveli halwa - Thirunelveli is a city in South Tamil Nadu.
Karaikal halwa differs from Tirunelveli halwa. Very hard and tasty. Still it doesn't lose its tradition and flavour even it crossed many years. A week before I ate Thirunelveli karupatti halwa, karupatti coffee and kuzhi panigaaram near Chennai. Karupatti is palm jaggery which has immunity.
You can actually find kotthu in Los Angeles, its delicious usually it is the sri lankan version but still delicious 😋 😋😋 if you guys can find the nearest tamil restaurant im sure you will be able to get kotthu. My personal recommendation is mutton kotthu roti.
My city ❤ 😍 I can host you and take you to all places Rick and Korbin if you have a plan of coming to Madurai 😇 You'd definitely love Meenakshi Amman Temple.. please do come someday 😇

These kinds of halwas are the original halwas which was brought by Arab merchants to South India. The ones you have in the North came from Persians that conquered North India and wanted to have some halwa, so they adopted something similar using ingredients available there.
14.43 - not semolina but wheat. It’s famous wheat halwa native to Tirunelveli and similar is in Madurai. It’s just Wheat (made of wheat milk by soaking balls of meat flour and taking milk after about 4 hours by crushing with hands and keep it overnight for fermentation kind of) and then morning make halwa by just using that milk and then add sugar after it start to thicken and then add caramelised sugar after a while abd put lot of ghee intermittently and cook (20-25 mins around) and need to stir continuously. And at end optionally use cashews. The consistency to stop is when the ghee start to come out of halwa and halwa become nice and blended
Tirunelveli city is very famous for Halwa located at south Tamilnadu.Shop name called Iruttu kadai Halwa.all over the india it's very famous for Halwa.. 👍👍
When it comes to south or north of India. The version of preparation for sweets selectively is different from both the side. Halwa made in north region commonly is made with milk as the base, where as in south its made with either Maida(All purpose flour)/Rice Flour as the base. Now the flavor and cooking style varies on the type of sweet you are making. In south, dishes made with milk will more or less called as a payassam where those categorized items are called as Kheer in the north. So overall the consistency and texture varies a lot at both the regions. Its like you can try to duplicate, but it'll not be good as the original. Like South Indians say that to have really good south indian food, go to south India. But for some apparent reason its not the same for north indian dishes, as you'll get the exact duplicate in south indian restaurants with the original taste. Especially those which are well known in north India not the local or region specific dishes.
Ok...i don't know where are you getting your info from, but i am a North Indian and halwa is made with flour/maida and also potatoes. Your comment about milk based receipe is also partially correct.
@@tarunkaushik1214 First, I said "is commonly made" I didn't say it as "not used at all". Second, Flour or Maida are the same in India as its a common word but for selective items some times in India we add words before flour to point which grain it belongs to if its not Maida..., but in the US it is called as "All purpose Flour". So when I mentioned commonly, I was not referring the rarely used base component for Starch like you said potato. There are places in south where Tapioca is used as an healthy alternative to starch than potato but as a Rice Flour been used by selective people. Mostly because of the work involved, price wise etc.. those base items are not the commonly used. My source is purely based on being a foodie. So I do my checks here and there most of the time either while cooking, purchasing and even during the time of consumption to know the taste and texture.
South India doesn't have the same North Indian food you get in North. Nowhere close. You must be really delusional to say that. Everything in south has curry leaves. Some highly pungent masala which can only be an acquired taste. The short , fat variety of rice used to cook biriyani and every other rice prep looks God forsaken. The biryani is not even a biriyani. On the other hand go any where in the North u will get the same idli sambar you get in the south.
@@priyak7384 First, all dishes in south doesn't require curry leaves. That's a stereo typical feeling for those who consider all south Indians are same where are south Indians never claim non of them are same in any state in North, East or West. Now, i'm not sure which restaurant you had a Biriyani. But I do know that since south India also produces a wide variety of Rice there multiple and different signatures of Biriyanis in couple of districts within every single south Indian state. Like in state of Kerala, if you want less spicy and less heavy biryani you can opt for Thalaserry Biriyani. If you want to little spicy version with Tandoori style chicken in it, then opt for Calicut/Malabar Biriyani. Kannur Biriyani is more like the you get more Masala. Thiruvanthapuram Biriyani is more like you get a alot of Gravy with the Chicken or whatever meat as the dum priority is given for the Rice. All the rice used in each of the localities are pretty different, like towards north of Kerala the commonly used rice is called Jeera which has got a different fragrance and a different taste comparing all the Basmati rice in India. Tamil Nadu has more like a creamy and heavy feeling Biryani's like Bucket Biryani, Tomato base Biryani like Aambur Biryani(People of Karnataka claim it as theirs as well because its locally available more in number and at times its lighter based on how certain people cook it) and for little & or not to heavy version is Thalappakatti Biryani. Apart from the above version, Karnataka has a spicy version of Biryani where green chilies is the base called as Donne Biryani with an average long grain rice. There are other different versions Biryani's are also there but yet to try. Now coming to State of Andhra Pradesh/Telangana comes the Signature Hyderabad Biryani and Andhra Biryani. Both are extremely spicy with really long grain rice. The heaviness and spiciness is only felt, if you mix the fix the masala that is next to the meat/anything that is bought or else. It is heavenly in taste without the masala as well. The same versions are available in Karnataka specific to Bangalore but it does taste the same but you won't feel heavy and there are few recommended places to get either Authentic Andhra or Hyderabad(part of Telangana) Biryani. There are other versions also available but its not popular enough to be recreated to have the same in a city environment were I stay also. Now Goa and other states have their own versions as well... Now Idlies, were to start. If you feel that there is only 1 type of Idly is there in south. Then its not.... There are different versions of Idlies in south not only it varies in size but also in taste and texture as well. Now if you feel that all the south Indian sambars is also same, then my friend. That is also, wrong. In south India you'll find multiple variations of sambar, you get versions like with multiple vegetables, less vegetables, more dal, less dal.. you can get no spicy sambar, less spicy sambar, really spicy sambar and at last even sweet and sweet & sour sambar as well. Not a fan of the sweet version but its the commonly sold and its a household signature of Karnataka. Above all, south Indian breakfast menu is not all about Idly and sambar. Every single state has a different signature dishes when it comes to Breakfast menu but Idli is the common one. Which because it is considered as the healthiest breakfast. Because the rice dough with urad dal in it, is steamed. Like for some Kerala's steam cake which is also known as Puttu. Is a healthy version, but the health scale varies based on the dish that is taken along with it from sugar, milk, boiled green gram all the way till different types of curries as the options are multiple. Now for the fact, about having the south Indian dishes taste being replicated in North is tough is because of the wide variety of versions of dishes available and how its prepared in each district and state varies. So the attempt to duplicate something that is called as south India is not possible. You can try to duplicate, one specific region in a state but not for all the states. Now the words that I used is something I've heard personally from a lot of North Indians, Foreigners and even food bloggers as well. That "You can find the north Indian options at select places in south itself, especially in the metro cities which tastes ALMOST the same but not the exact one. But when it comes to south Indian, you should only try in south India as within each state you almost get the same taste but you don't get that taste in any of the south Indian restaurants in North India. And no one can claim that the south Indian food served in north neither tastes better or good in North India, forgetting it is an imitation. So the authentic one has to be recognized than the imitation". Now for North Indians, why almost the same taste is available I claimed. Even though vast majority in North have a common dishes in menu. Most of the dishes are prepared differently in each part of North, East, West and in South they pick one method and make it. Example, you may search for the recipe for Malai Kofta in TH-cam and you'll find a wide variety of versions were the core ingredient is the same but the process and taste wise. All of them, tastes different. So if an individual is seeking for a particular district/region flavors and if they don't get it with high expectations. Obviously they get disappointed.
Rick and Corbin when u come to South india...come to madurai go to Meenakshi Amman temple and don't forget jigardanda (it is made of sea shell which tastes like jelly and with a scoop of vanilla ice-cream) it's a famous madurai colddrink you both will love it.
That movie poster is of darbar. The ladies were talking about somewhere foreigner named Natalia from Switzerland who used to come during newyear. The other asked jovially whether Sheena would take them to her town. They all were discussing jovially that they could stir Halwa and work there. It was a friendly discussion, not a serious one.
Halwa came to India from places like Turkey and Persia. Halwa literally is flour cooked in oil with sugar. And that is similar to the Halwa you get in South. In North halwa took a turn and things like carrot halwa, Dal halwa etc came.
Kothu is mincing - which is what the chef is doing on the hot plate with two sharp blades This Halwa is made of wheat - more famous at the town of Tirunelveli Madurai is called 'Thoongaa Nagaram' meaning sleepless city famous for its night food stalls 5:45 - did u notice how the guy selling Cotton seed milk "Paruthi Paal' is handing over the glass by his right hand with his left hand holding the right at elbow- that is a mark of respect.... yes we are crazy but cultured tamils
That gooey thing is the only 'real halwa'. Getting that rolling consistency is the key. Made of wheat milk, sometimes fermented wheat milk to add to the taste. Just divine!
Second dish is Kuttu Paratha ... Its amazing food .. its Paratha being cut into small piece mixed with chicken egg gravy.. its soaked and dry at same time ... And third one is halwa .. its wheat halwa... Its sweet gooey ..and amazing...that halwa is like traditional halwa
Original Nei Mittai kada "boonthi and potato masala for curd rice, sambar rice" , jigarthanda, பன் parrotta, தேர்முட்டி நெய் அதிரசம், செக்கானூரணி அசைவ சாப்பாடு, சொல்லிட்டே போலாம்😊😊
They basically misunderstood things 😂 15:09 *Green Saree lady* : Go consult a doctor and check your joint pain 15:11 *Pink Saree lady* : you both talk like this all night 😂
This is actually 2nd video reaction of chasing the plate. I remember OSR reacting to these guys eating food at some beach, it was also south indian food.
The city madurai is called temple city or sleepless city. It has a long cultural history. The halwa is famous in southern most district known as tirunelveli or iruttukadai halwa. Everywhere in India you can see the square sized halwa but this is specific to that area and popular in various parts of Tamilnadu.
I really like Rick's style of telling. It seems that he has understood India very well and explains it very well, very seriously. So when do you guys plan to come to India?
It is made from wheat milk. This halwa is local to two cities in Tamil Nadu - Madurai and Tirunelveli. The same store also sells a spicy snack called mixture and we usually have the halwa and mixture together as it balances out the sweetness. As someone born and lived in Madurai for 27 years I absolutely enjoyed that video. Thank you!!
That Traditional halwa s made from Wheat .... WHEAT HALWA , ( wheat , sugar , ghee , nuts , ) I'm one of the regular customer for these shops 🤩 PREMA VILLAS 😋 ..... ------ STUPID LOVR from MADURAI 🇮🇳
Also, on the hospitality and friendliness... I always say the Tamilians and the Irish have the friendliest cultures (not people, people can be on a spectrum) in general. I used to be astonished how you could go to a neighbour's house to ask for directions and end up being invited to have lunch or dinner with them. I'm not kidding.
Hi guys ! This is not a soup. It is a hot sweet almond milk like drink which is made up of milk extracted from cotton seeds. It is very good for health and delicious.
@@TitusJudah you can express your opinion. but why the frustration and the high expectations for them to know everything. You can express the the very opinion with kindness and by being informative- as if you're updating them of a fact. Not clapping your forehead in frustration that they dont already know it.
That's the Wheat Halwa. Traditional Halwa Made of Wheat. Tirunelveli a city 150 kms south of Madurai, is famous for the Wheat Halwa. The Shop she ate is in Madurai making the Tirunelveli Halwa.
21:47 it's not just America.. I don't buy chicken if the shop doesn't already have the pieces ready. There have been times when I returned home from the shop without getting the chicken coz i didn't want to see the hen pulled out of the coop to be murdered.
14:08 Pink saree lady : Thakkali (Tomato) ... Thakkali... Switzerland (with hand signs) (Pink saree woman is trying to say that they did bring Tomato from Switzerland) IDK what they were talking before, this is irrelevant 😂.
She's trying to invite her to a neighbouring village for Pongal..which is a festival, so she must have meant that there was a village festival happening nearby. lol, she even explained the invitation to the other ladies while explaining that the girl was looking for good food..
I studied in Madras one of my friend brought me Trinuveli halwa the one which your asking what kind of halwa. It was awesome and no halwa can beat that it’s full of ghee and sugary..
That gooey halwa is famous in Tamilnadu and Andhra Pradesh (Bandar)... It is actually made of broken wheat milk . It tastes super good and very different than any other halwas out their
It is the famous Prema Vilas halwa stall in front of Madurai Jn. It is usually prepared from 4 p m and purposefully served hot and piping in a special leaf other than banana leave called Mandharai ilai to add a special aroma. After that they give you a spicy savory called boondhi. Many madurai people are addicted to it After this they cross over the road hop into College house tiffin hotel to wash down with an excellent filter coffee There is one more halwa known a eruttu kadai halwa meaning the halwa made in a shop which has no fancy lighting in Tirunelveli town roughly 250 km from Madurai. You have to be there between 5pm to 7 pm and after that the shop is closed. There is also a special halwa known as Nagapattinam Halwa which is 300 km away from Madurai which is prepared by Muslim brothers
That Thick drink name is Paruthi Paal Very tasty and Healthy, has high Nutritious Value Very even here in Chennai So good Luck finding it but if u find it please put a video on it...
Dear #Korbin & #Rick : Basically this is the Regular Halwa, rest all Halwa's were seasonal & occasional. This is Made up of regular wheat flour, selmon flour,( Rajgira) etc... Mostly people have it in fast days.
Those ladies were asking Sheena if she will take them to her country/place to visit. That's what they were telling her just when she was eating the halwa.
You can have the greatest foods around Madurai. And you can have the same food with different style and tastes around Tamilnadu. Mostly all of them are great!
I don't drink but does the alcohol in the different drinks taste the same or is it different? I mean does it physically hit the throat, food pipe and the stomach the same or different. Just curious.
Its the famous Thirunelveli ( Thiru-nel-ve-li ) halwa. its famous in south india particularly in the State of Tamilnadu. if you eat this one once, you are not gonna like the other type of halwas that much. Try searching it as Thirunelveli halwa or Irutukadai halwa, both are same. A kilogram of the halwa costs ₹700 approximately 10$.
Thirunelveli alwa, Famous in South. My favorite. It just melts in your mouth. And the taste is just heavenly. Most importantly You should eat when it's hot.
Halwa - it's a wheat halwa and it will be tasty too...more soft compare to any ice cream....locally called as tirunelveli halwa or its iruttu kadai halwa...
This place is top of all South Indian food Must visit this place, because u will get teasty and quality food 24 hours in all hotels, it is food paradise
Hii..that's not semolina halfway.. I am born in madurai...it's made of fermented wheat milk , sugar and ghee ..it's famous in other part of tamilnadu, thirunelveli...
First welcoming you friends to our Madurai Whole Indian People's loves Madurai the taste of madurai veg and non veg Madurai People's proud to say in tamil (Nanum Madurai Karen thanda)💪 Madurai is mass see our festivals in TH-cam about Madurai
That's exactly how a freshly made Halwa is supposed to be - gooey! The solid bricks you get in a sweet store is not fresh. Madurai's famous Halwa point is just opposite to the Railway Station called 'Iruttu Kadai Halwa' meaning '(Iruttu) Dark, (Kadai) Shop. It's a small shop, super crowded all the times, and you can taste the most authentic Halwa of Tamilnadu there. The other signature street food in Madurai is the sliced, diced, minced paratha bread with egg, veggies, spices, etc. made with a butcher knife on that hot plate called 'Koththu Paratha'. Koththu means chopping/slicing/dicing/mincing with a knife. It's one of the most popular and tastiest food you would ever have. Of course Paratha, Roti, Chapathi etc. are all from North India, but are hugely popular in south as well. Madurai has its own flavor of these varieties and the king of all is 'Koththu Paratha'. The noice of the butchering knife hitting the hot plate to slice/dice/mince the bread has become a photographic image everywhere in Madurai in all the thousands of street shops in the evening/night hours, to a point, that it became a huge noisy nuisance, authorities had to issue an order to keep it low to all street shops. :-)

Is a healthy version, but the health scale varies based on the dish that is taken along with it from sugar, milk, boiled green gram all the way till different types of curries as the options are multiple.
Now for the fact, about having the south Indian dishes taste being replicated in North is tough is because of the wide variety of versions of dishes available and how its prepared in each district and state varies. So the attempt to duplicate something that is called as south India is not possible. You can try to duplicate, one specific region in a state but not for all the states. Now the words that I used is something I've heard personally from a lot of North Indians, Foreigners and even food bloggers as well.
That "You can find the north Indian options at select places in south itself, especially in the metro cities which tastes ALMOST the same but not the exact one. But when it comes to south Indian, you should only try in south India as within each state you almost get the same taste but you don't get that taste in any of the south Indian restaurants in North India. And no one can claim that the south Indian food served in north neither tastes better or good in North India, forgetting it is an imitation. So the authentic one has to be recognized than the imitation".
Now for North Indians, why almost the same taste is available I claimed. Even though vast majority in North have a common dishes in menu. Most of the dishes are prepared differently in each part of North, East, West and in South they pick one method and make it. Example, you may search for the recipe for Malai Kofta in TH-cam and you'll find a wide variety of versions were the core ingredient is the same but the process and taste wise. All of them, tastes different. So if an individual is seeking for a particular district/region flavors and if they don't get it with high expectations. Obviously they get disappointed.
Rick and Corbin when u come to South india...come to madurai go to Meenakshi Amman temple and don't forget jigardanda (it is made of sea shell which tastes like jelly and with a scoop of vanilla ice-cream) it's a famous madurai colddrink you both will love it.
North halwa is different and south halwa( mostly in tamilnadu) is different
Obviously south indian halwa taste are trash
Halwa aslo have any india dude ??just kidding 😂🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
@@rajsolanki9271yes
That movie poster is of darbar.
The ladies were talking about somewhere foreigner named Natalia from Switzerland who used to come during newyear. The other asked jovially whether Sheena would take them to her town. They all were discussing jovially that they could stir Halwa and work there. It was a friendly discussion, not a serious one.
It's wheat halwa.. u have to keep stirring.. it takes time and effort to bring it to that consistency.
The Halwa is made from wheat milk. Halwa factory is near to my home. Subramaniapuram, Madurai.
Halwa came to India from places like Turkey and Persia. Halwa literally is flour cooked in oil with sugar. And that is similar to the Halwa you get in South. In North halwa took a turn and things like carrot halwa, Dal halwa etc came.
Kothu is mincing - which is what the chef is doing on the hot plate with two sharp blades
This Halwa is made of wheat - more famous at the town of Tirunelveli
Madurai is called 'Thoongaa Nagaram' meaning sleepless city famous for its night food stalls
5:45 - did u notice how the guy selling Cotton seed milk "Paruthi Paal' is handing over the glass by his right hand with his left hand holding the right at elbow- that is a mark of respect.... yes we are crazy but cultured tamils
That gooey thing is the only 'real halwa'. Getting that rolling consistency is the key.
Made of wheat milk, sometimes fermented wheat milk to add to the taste. Just divine!
Second dish is Kuttu Paratha ... Its amazing food .. its Paratha being cut into small piece mixed with chicken egg gravy.. its soaked and dry at same time ... And third one is halwa .. its wheat halwa... Its sweet gooey ..and amazing...that halwa is like traditional halwa
Original Nei Mittai kada "boonthi and potato masala for curd rice, sambar rice" , jigarthanda, பன் parrotta, தேர்முட்டி நெய் அதிரசம், செக்கானூரணி அசைவ சாப்பாடு, சொல்லிட்டே போலாம்😊😊
When rick said "hot goo" i died laughing
The halwa is made from wheat milk (extracted from soaking and grinding whole wheat grains) , sugar and ghee
They basically misunderstood things 😂
15:09 *Green Saree lady* : Go consult a doctor and check your joint pain
15:11 *Pink Saree lady* : you both talk like this all night 😂
melted my heart! both the hosts totally mingled in the crowd, felt home!!
This is actually 2nd video reaction of chasing the plate. I remember OSR reacting to these guys eating food at some beach, it was also south indian food.
You have to try that paruthi paal. It's sweet and yummy with taste of ginger
That's Name Is "thirunelveli Halwa"
That halwa is made of "milk of wheat" which is actually starch taken out of wheat. That's why it is sticky or gluee.
The city madurai is called temple city or sleepless city. It has a long cultural history. The halwa is famous in southern most district known as tirunelveli or iruttukadai halwa. Everywhere in India you can see the square sized halwa but this is specific to that area and popular in various parts of Tamilnadu.
I really like Rick's style of telling. It seems that he has understood India very well and explains it very well, very seriously. So when do you guys plan to come to India?
It is made from wheat milk. This halwa is local to two cities in Tamil Nadu - Madurai and Tirunelveli. The same store also sells a spicy snack called mixture and we usually have the halwa and mixture together as it balances out the sweetness. As someone born and lived in Madurai for 27 years I absolutely enjoyed that video. Thank you!!
15:18 Pink saree lady: after Going for pongal and come back .............
(Incomplete)
That Traditional halwa s made from Wheat .... WHEAT HALWA , ( wheat , sugar , ghee , nuts , ) I'm one of the regular customer for these shops 🤩 PREMA VILLAS 😋 ..... ------ STUPID LOVR from MADURAI 🇮🇳
Also, on the hospitality and friendliness... I always say the Tamilians and the Irish have the friendliest cultures (not people, people can be on a spectrum) in general. I used to be astonished how you could go to a neighbour's house to ask for directions and end up being invited to have lunch or dinner with them. I'm not kidding.
Feels like I'm watching a match and u guys are commentators. 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Hi guys ! This is not a soup. It is a hot sweet almond milk like drink which is made up of milk extracted from cotton seeds. It is very good for health and delicious.
My hometown Madurai thanks for reaction
Try bun parotta, poricha parotta, veechu parotta, dhum parotta, kothu parotta in Madurai.
It is Halva Made from Araroot flour with sugar or jeggery with lotta of Ghee ( purified butter)
Madurai is the place you can eat idly even at 1:30 am
"That's not a regular halwa". That's most certainly THE regular halwa. 🤦♂️
it's fine. they dont know everything..cut them some slack
@@Arshiaification and it's perfectly okay to express my opinion. Chill.
@@TitusJudah you can express your opinion. but why the frustration and the high expectations for them to know everything. You can express the the very opinion with kindness and by being informative- as if you're updating them of a fact.
Not clapping your forehead in frustration that they dont already know it.
That's the Wheat Halwa. Traditional Halwa Made of Wheat. Tirunelveli a city 150 kms south of Madurai, is famous for the Wheat Halwa. The Shop she ate is in Madurai making the Tirunelveli Halwa.
21:47 it's not just America.. I don't buy chicken if the shop doesn't already have the pieces ready. There have been times when I returned home from the shop without getting the chicken coz i didn't want to see the hen pulled out of the coop to be murdered.
If you want to know how that halwa was made.. React to halwa making video from village cooking channel
Its ghee,wheat milk ,sugar...little cardamom
Wow.. Im from madurai, Thanks for the reaction.
14:08 Pink saree lady : Thakkali (Tomato) ... Thakkali... Switzerland (with hand signs)
(Pink saree woman is trying to say that they did bring Tomato from Switzerland)
IDK what they were talking before, this is irrelevant 😂.
Eating on banana leaves 🍃 is so satisfying 😙
And the chicken🤣coincidentaaly that shop is a butchery in the mrng and a hotel/restaurant at night so that explains the freshness of the meat
16:31 THAT IS THE REGULAR HALWA. That's how halwa looks in Arabic countries as well (where they're originally from)
16:45 Film is Darbar - Rajinikanth Movie
She's trying to invite her to a neighbouring village for Pongal..which is a festival, so she must have meant that there was a village festival happening nearby. lol, she even explained the invitation to the other ladies while explaining that the girl was looking for good food..
I studied in Madras one of my friend brought me Trinuveli halwa the one which your asking what kind of halwa. It was awesome and no halwa can beat that it’s full of ghee and sugary..
My Hometown ❤️❤️❤️ Missing this place a lot now after watching this video
That gooey halwa is famous in Tamilnadu and Andhra Pradesh (Bandar)... It is actually made of broken wheat milk . It tastes super good and very different than any other halwas out their
it is a halwa made of wheat flour sugar caramel and its called as iruttu kadai halwa
Rick is right. Indian streets are crowded. I love the chaos. 😂
It is the famous Prema Vilas halwa stall in front of Madurai Jn. It is usually prepared from 4 p m and purposefully served hot and piping in a special leaf other than banana leave called Mandharai ilai to add a special aroma. After that they give you a spicy savory called boondhi. Many madurai people are addicted to it After this they cross over the road hop into College house tiffin hotel to wash down with an excellent filter coffee
There is one more halwa known a eruttu kadai halwa meaning the halwa made in a shop which has no fancy lighting in Tirunelveli town roughly 250 km from Madurai. You have to be there between 5pm to 7 pm and after that the shop is closed.
There is also a special halwa known as Nagapattinam Halwa which is 300 km away from Madurai which is prepared by Muslim brothers
India' two "bestest of best" invention:
Zero and Old Monk 😂😂😂
That Thick drink name is Paruthi Paal Very tasty and Healthy, has high Nutritious Value Very even here in Chennai So good Luck finding it but if u find it please put a video on it...
Stefanie would love that drink cuz she loves Ginger
Dear #Korbin & #Rick : Basically this is the Regular Halwa, rest all Halwa's were seasonal & occasional. This is Made up of regular wheat flour, selmon flour,( Rajgira) etc... Mostly people have it in fast days.
It's called madugulu halwa it's very different to carrot halwa and delicious as hell I would prefer it more than carrot halwa you might too.
Those ladies were asking Sheena if she will take them to her country/place to visit. That's what they were telling her just when she was eating the halwa.
You can have the greatest foods around Madurai. And you can have the same food with different style and tastes around Tamilnadu. Mostly all of them are great!
That's right, in India you don't have refrigerated meat. That surprised me when I moved abroad. Wishing you well Rick!
This is wheat flour halwa..with ghee, sugar and almonds...
I don't drink but does the alcohol in the different drinks taste the same or is it different? I mean does it physically hit the throat, food pipe and the stomach the same or different. Just curious.
That halwa you wondering about land mark of Thirunelveli -irrutu kadai halwa in ( place) -Thirunelveli.
Its the famous Thirunelveli ( Thiru-nel-ve-li ) halwa. its famous in south india particularly in the State of Tamilnadu. if you eat this one once, you are not gonna like the other type of halwas that much. Try searching it as Thirunelveli halwa or Irutukadai halwa, both are same. A kilogram of the halwa costs ₹700 approximately 10$.
Thirunelveli alwa, Famous in South. My favorite. It just melts in your mouth. And the taste is just heavenly. Most importantly You should eat when it's hot.
It is wheat halwa..most famous in madurai...though available in all shops.
Chicken Most Probably Murdered In The Back ! 😂😂😂😂😂

That was wheat Halwa, it tastes incredible
First welcoming you friends to our Madurai Whole Indian People's loves Madurai the taste of madurai veg and non veg
Madurai People's proud to say in tamil
(Nanum Madurai Karen thanda)💪
Madurai is mass see our festivals in TH-cam about Madurai
That halwa is mainly wheat flour based with lots of ghee , cashew ,almonds
That's exactly how a freshly made Halwa is supposed to be - gooey! The solid bricks you get in a sweet store is not fresh. Madurai's famous Halwa point is just opposite to the Railway Station called 'Iruttu Kadai Halwa' meaning '(Iruttu) Dark, (Kadai) Shop. It's a small shop, super crowded all the times, and you can taste the most authentic Halwa of Tamilnadu there. The other signature street food in Madurai is the sliced, diced, minced paratha bread with egg, veggies, spices, etc. made with a butcher knife on that hot plate called 'Koththu Paratha'. Koththu means chopping/slicing/dicing/mincing with a knife. It's one of the most popular and tastiest food you would ever have. Of course Paratha, Roti, Chapathi etc. are all from North India, but are hugely popular in south as well. Madurai has its own flavor of these varieties and the king of all is 'Koththu Paratha'. The noice of the butchering knife hitting the hot plate to slice/dice/mince the bread has become a photographic image everywhere in Madurai in all the thousands of street shops in the evening/night hours, to a point, that it became a huge noisy nuisance, authorities had to issue an order to keep it low to all street shops. :-)
