Iruttu Kadai (transl. Dark shop) is an Indian sweets and snacks shop located in Tirunelveli, Tamil Nadu. It is known for "Iruttu Kadai Halwa", a type of Indian sweet halwa made of wheat, sugar and ghee.[1][2] The store has become a landmark for the city of Tirunelveli over the decades.

History

[edit]

The halwa shop was established in 1900 and has remained unexpanded ever since. Nevertheless, the store has become a landmark for the city of Tirunelveli.[3]

Arvind Swamy in the Tamil movie Singapore Saloon talks about the story of Iruttu Kadai shop to RJ Balaji and its history.
