Can you think about a Food Parade without candy or sweets? No way!
I want to share my contribution to this Independence Day 2020 Food Parade - a candy which I used to eat in my childhood. This is actually a recipe which is made from Jaggery also know as Desi Gur, tamarind and cumin and the candy taster, tangy and fragrance. This is the often prepared recipe in our home which cant be ignored by loving parents.
This is also known as village candy made from Jaggery and if you are leaving in metro city like Delhi NCR you can buy best Jaggery in Delhi online easily from any trusted e-commerce site.
Perhaps you had see this candy often serve on domestic flights in India as a welcome kit at departure of the flight. This candy is very similar to the Hajmola candy. This candy is served to save from jet sickness and nausea associated with air travel. According to my grandmother- these three natural ingredients used in this candy have very much Ayurvedic properties and health benefits.
Ingredients:
- Jaggery
- Tamarind pieces
- Cumin and
- A pinch of salt
How to Prepare Jaggery Candy
This recipe is very simple. Mix all the ingredients together in a pot in a mortar to soft paste and then try to make small balls. Need to insert a stick for a lollipop style candy. You can wrap it in a silver or colorful paper to present in a style. You can feel its tangy taste to your lip. Enjoy this healthy and Yummi and delicious candy.
I know some very popular brands who are manufacturing Jaggery products in India with very attractive packaging and different flavours. You can see flavoured Jaggery like cardamom, celery, fennel, etc.
