  Hi,
  
  Here is the recipe of thirunelveli halwa, which I picked up from the above article. I have not tried it so I do not know how it will turn out. But whoever wants can try the recipe.
  
  Iruttukadai's Tirunelveli Halwa :
  ================================
  
  Soak one kg of whole grains of wheat for eight hours.
  
  Hand grind. Let the milk-like batter settle.
  
  Pour the milk-like batter and 4½ kg sugar into a wide iron karhai or wok. Heat, stirring continuously till it begins to boil and bubble. Then add 2¼ kg ghee. Boil it down till it thickens and is nearly solid.
  
  Pour onto a greased thali or plate. Let it cool and cut or serve into desired portions.
