Tips & Secrets

  • Testing the jaggery syrup in cold water is mandatory; if it is soft, the gajak will be professional-grade sticky instead of crunchy.
  • Adding a touch of ginger powder is the secret to a professional-grade warming winter profile that balances the sweetness of jaggery.
  • Rolling out the mixture while it is extremely hot is the only way to achieve a professional thin and magnificent brittle sheet.
