Tips & Secrets

  • Peeling the beans after soaking is mandatory for achieving the most authentic texture and digestibility.
  • Ensuring a balance of high jaggery and sourness provides the absolute secret to achieving superior 'Lagan' style flavor.
  • The addition of a little coconut milk (optional) provides the essential creamy-rich lift.
  • Always cook on a slow simmer to ensure the signature deep-spice absorption is achieved.
