What it is

Karupatti is made from the sap of the palmyra palm, boiled down until it sets dark and firm. It belongs to the south of Tamil Nadu, where the palms line the roads around Tirunelveli and Thoothukudi, and to Sri Lanka.

It tastes smoky and deep, much darker than cane jaggery, and it changes the flavour of anything it goes into, from paniyaram to payasam. Break or grate what you need, melt it in a little warm water and strain before using. Choosing between palm sweeteners? Karupatti block for grating into sweets, karupatti powder for coffee, palm sugar candy for warm milk.

Tip: Grate it on the fine side of a box grater. A knife just sends chips across the floor.

Goes well with: Sri Durga Rice Flakes Medium (Red), Swaad Green Cardamom, Kumbakonam Degree Coffee Premium Blend (70-30)
