Nagercoil Sweet Thenkuzhal – Traditional Crispy Sweet Snack
Nagercoil Sweet Thenkuzhal is a cherished South Indian delicacy hailing from the coastal town of Nagercoil, known for its unique combination of crispiness and gentle sweetness. This sweet variation of the classic Thenkuzhal is made from a carefully balanced dough of rice flour and urad dal flour, enhanced with sugar, butter, and a hint of cardamom for an aromatic finish.
The dough is expertly shaped using a traditional brass or iron mold into intricate patterns and deep-fried until golden and crispy. The result is a light, crunchy snack with a delicate sweet flavor that is not overpowering, making it ideal for festive occasions and as a special treat during family celebrations.
Nagercoil Sweet Thenkuzhal holds a special place in festival rituals, weddings, and Seer Bakshanam (auspicious gift assortments), symbolizing prosperity and joy.
