Jaggery is used as a sweetener in Indian cuisine especially Gujarati food. A pinch of jaggery enhances the flavor and also, balances the spice levels in preparations like sambhar, rasam and other gravies. Gujarati special Sev Tameta, Maharashtrian Patal Bhaji, Karnataka Spicy Tomato Curry with their unique flavour and characteristic aroma make for an irresistible meal.

Nutritionally jaggery has more health benefits than sugar. It is a rich source of iron. You can cook an array of chikki using different seeds and nuts & store in an air-tight container. Munch on them when you feel hungry at work or pack them as tiffin snack for kids. Here are few of my favorite chikki recipes:

1. Crushed Peanut Chikki

2. Oats and Walnut Chikki

3. Mixed Til Chikki

Sweet Pongal, Sakkarai Pongal, Chakkarai

You can even shape the mixture in round balls, insert a small disposable stick in the center to make laddoos or lollipop. Oats Lollipop, Til Ke Ladoo or Oats and Mixed Nuts Ladoo are some attractive variants that will be adored by kids.
