If you go to Laxmi Vilas and Prema vilas sweet stall near Periyar bus stand, you will see halwa and near to that there will be many vendors selling Madurai Malli. As you know Madurai Halwa and Madurai Malli goes well with it. So I add another special item of Madurai as Madurai Halwa, ok?:)

Next is Madurai Idly/Idli. As you know there is a famous shop called Murugan Idly Kadai in Madurai, which has become very expensive. But, Madurai Idly is special in roads where some old woman cooks on the road like idly, paniyaram and serves on the roads itself near periyar bus stand. they are very tasty and they can be added to special items of Madurai.
