Chicken eat veg and we eat chicken. So chicken is a veg!! Non veggies arguments go like this. But there is an restaurant in Germany - café koppel - where they are serving real veg chicken dishes.

Tirunelveli Halwa in Bangalore: A mobile Tirunelveli Halwa shop

You can find lot of sweet shops in Bangalore, but for the first time I am seeing a mobile sweetshop in Bangalore and more over in the heavy traffic.

Tirunelveli Halwa Recipe

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.
