What it is

Aachi Masala was founded in 1995 by A.D. Padmasingh Isaac and is headquartered in Chennai. Alongside its spice blends it packs kitchen basics like this one.

Vellam usually comes as a hard block that needs a knife or a rolling pin. This is sugarcane jaggery already powdered, so it spoons straight into coffee and dissolves quickly into payasam and pongal, with a deeper, caramel sweetness than white sugar. Choosing between jaggeries? Aachi powder for everyday spooning; Sri Durga jaggery balls for big pots of pongal; Palm Era's palm jaggery powder for the karupatti taste.

Tip: Stir it into payasam after the milk comes off the boil. Jaggery added to boiling milk can make it split.

Goes well with: Swaad Green Cardamom, Sri Annam Thanjavur Ponni Raw Rice, Heera Moong Dal Washed

Jaggery (sugarcane).
