Basha Halwawala, the 100 years old sweet shop in Jam Bazaar, in Triplicane, Chennai, is most famous for its “Dum Ka Roat” – a halwa delicacy that is crusty on the outside and hot and soft on the inside. Basha Halwawala is one of the best places to have various varieties of tasty halwa sweets in the Chennai area.

The rates at Basha Halwa Wala are reasonable and the shop is always crowded with regular customers. This small outlet exists for decades with no other branches. This shop specialty still maintains its traditional taste and also it’s their traditional vintage way of packing them in cardboard boxes.

Basha Halwawala’s Authetic Dum Ka Roat:
Basha Halwawala’s authentic Dum Ka Roat lured halwa lovers towards it and the shop is one of the landmarks of Triplicane in Chennai. Dum Ka Roat is basically a baked semolina pudding.


This hot, fresh, gooey, crispy pumpkin seed delight Halwa Dum Ka Roat was must try dessert and its texture is really super tasty and awesome.


They also mastered the art of making the carrot halwa and bottle gourd halwa. Carrot halwa was almost liquid, drenched in ghee, and purely yummy.


Basha Halwa Wala also boasts of a special dish called Ande Ke Mithai – a dessert made with eggs. Beetroot halwa, Poosani halwa, badam halwa, and Long-sized Gulab Jamun are equally super.
Long Jamun stuffed with Kova soaked in sugar syrup is a wonderful mouth-watering alongside regular items such as Paal and Pika Kova, Mysore Paak, Laddu, Baadusha, Pedas, and juicy fat Jangris.

The 82-year-old traditional Basha Halwawala sweet shop is in the 4th generation and states that “there is no secret ingredient to the Dum Ka Roat and the trick lies entirely in the using coal dum baking of the dish, a process which takes 3-4 hours and the secret lies in the way it’s made”.
