ksQiAvkI Muscoth Halwa: a Ceylon recipe reimagined in Tamil Nadu Nestled in Mudalur, a quiet hamlet about 55 km south of Thoothukudi, Muscoth halwa has been delighting sweet lovers for 50 years. Brought from Ceylon (Sri Lanka) by A. Joseph in the 1950s, this unique sweet is made with coconut milk, maida, sugar and cashew nut powder.
In 1969, his son J. Jeyaseelan turned his father's home-made recipe into a business by establishing AJJ Sweets. What began as a manual process gradually evolved into mechanised production in 2001.
Today, AJJ and SJ Sweets continue to preserve Mudalur's distinctive Muscoth halwa tradition. The Hindu 325 16:9
