Is winter jaggery different from the rest of the year?

It is fresher. Sugarcane is crushed in the winter months, so jars packed now are closer to the date the juice was cooked. The jaggery itself is made the same way all year.

How much gur do I need for Sankranti sweets?

For til laddoo, most home recipes use roughly equal weights of til and jaggery. A 500g jar is enough for a generous batch. Powder melts faster into a syrup; cubes need a few minutes more.

Can I order in bulk for gifting?

Yes. Message us on WhatsApp with the quantity and the delivery dates and we will confirm what we can pack and dispatch before the festival.

New season, fresh batch

Cane is crushed in winter, so this is the time of year jaggery is at its freshest. The kolhu is running in Muzaffarnagar and the jars we are packing now are from the batch that just came off the kadhai.

Fresh batch, packed this season. Colour and texture shift a little from batch to batch because nothing is added to force them uniform.

A cube for every cup

Winter is chai weather, and the cubes exist for exactly this. One cube, straight into the cup, no grating and no chipping at a hard block on the counter.

One cube sweetens a regular cup of chai.
Take the pan off the boil before you stir it in, so the milk stays smooth.
For a large or strong cup, use one and a half.
The powder does the same job in coffee and haldi doodh, and dissolves faster.

Lohri and Makar Sankranti

Til and gur are what these two festivals are made of. Gur goes into the gajak, the rewari, the chikki and the til laddoo, and a jar of it is an easy thing to hand across at the door.

Keeping a jar through winter

Indian winters are damp in the morning and dry by afternoon, and jaggery notices. A few habits keep the last spoon as loose as the first.

Close the lid properly Screwed down, not rested on top. The jar is airtight only when it is actually shut.
Dry spoon, every time A spoon still wet from tea starts a clump, and that clump grows.
Off the counter A cool, dry cupboard shelf beats a spot beside the stove or in the morning sun.
If it has set Break it with the back of a dry spoon. Nothing is wrong with it, and it behaves exactly as it did before.
