Sivakasi Cuisine
A notable Sivakasi dish is parotta, served with a special gravy. Sivakasi is famous for its pakoda. Milk rice (paal sadham) frequently accompanies pakoda, and is served at weddings also. During festival seasons, sweets like Karupatti Mittai (made with rice flour and palm jaggery) and Vellai Mittai (made with rice flour and sugar) are sold in sweet shops in the town.
