They also have konda kadalai (black channa) sundal and white sundal (channa) starting INR 79 (250 grams) and piping hot pongal!
Suswaad
In the sweets business, Suswaad went viral a few years ago because of their no-promotions and ads motto. Most people hear about Suswaad through word of mouth, and to this day, people love buying from them. For the festival, you can buy sweet kozhakattai for INR 10 per piece and soft vadai for the same amount. For just INR 70, you can buy a kilo of their white sundal. They also have sweet pongal priced at INR 60. Don’t forget to munch on some of their oil-less machine-made murukku, healthy healthy!
Sri Krishna Sweets
If you want lots of options, hit up Sri Krishna Sweets. In addition to the sweet kozhakattai and karam kozhakatti, they have upma kozhakattai starting INR 17 (per piece) for all the fitness freaks out there! What’s missing? Yes, Ganesh Chaturthi is incomplete without their sweet modakam, gooey and delicious! In addition to these, they have an assorted tin box priced at INR 500 which includes adhirasam, milagu vadai, thenkuzhal (made with jaggery), ghee appam, kai murukku, palgova, boondi laddu, ground nut barfi, and a Vinayakar book.

Saravan Bhavan
We Chennai makkal love SVB for their lunch meals, but we also love that they have a special combo for Vinayaka Chaturthi.
