Muskoth halwa

Just when you think you’ve seen it all, there’s still a surprise in store. That explains my first tryst with the Muscoth Halwa. I’ll say this, I’m not a huge fan of sweets that drip with ghee. This includes many versions of wheat halwa. It was during my last visit to Tuticorin that I first tried the Muscoth Halwa. I must confess that it required a lot of coaxing before I gave in. It wasn’t just a case of love at first taste but also a twist in the tale. I certainly didn’t expect a flavour profile that was so distinct and different from the immensely popular Tirunelveli halwa.
