What it is

Vellam is the unrefined sweetener of Tamil kitchens, usually made by boiling down sugarcane juice until it thickens and sets. This is the darker, brown kind, sold in round balls that you break up at home and melt in a little water before cooking.

Brown jaggery tastes deeper than the yellow, with a slight caramel edge, and it gives sweets a darker colour. It is the one to reach for when you want payasam or pori urundai properly brown. Choosing between jaggeries? Brown balls for deep colour and flavour; Sri Durga yellow balls for lighter sweets like kesari; Sri Durga brown jaggery powder when you want it to dissolve straight into coffee or kanji.

Tip: For pori urundai, drop a little of the melted paagu into cold water. When it rolls into a firm ball, it is ready.

Goes well with: Swaad Green Cardamom, GRB Pure Ghee, Heera Desiccated Coconut Fine
