What it is

Vellam used to come home as a hard block that had to be broken, grated or melted before it could be used. Powdered jaggery skips that step: it spoons straight into the pan or the cup.

It is golden brown with a deep, toffee-like sweetness that sugar does not have, the taste behind sakkarai pongal, paal payasam and kozhukattai filling. Choosing between jaggery? This powder for everyday spoons and quick sweets; Native Food Store Jaggery Powder for a bigger bag; Palm Era's Palm Jaggery Powder for the darker karupatti taste.

Tip: For payasam, add the jaggery after the milk comes off the flame. It stops the milk from splitting.

Goes well with: Sri Annam Thanjavur Ponni Raw Rice, Heera Cashew Nuts, Swaad Green Cardamom
