{"title":"Dealicious Mealz","description":"\u003cp\u003eDealicious Mealz is a pantry label, and its range on our shelves covers two forms of traditional cane sugar. Gur is jaggery: sugar cane juice boiled down in open pans until it thickens and sets into a dense, toffee coloured block. Shakkar is made the same way but stirred as it cools, so it breaks into a loose, crumbly powder that is easier to measure and dissolve.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBoth sit in our \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/jaggery-gur\"\u003ejaggery gur\u003c\/a\u003e collection, part of the \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/jaggery-and-mishri\"\u003ejaggery and mishri\u003c\/a\u003e category.

Gur is melted into the dough for meethi roti, stirred into tea in place of sugar, and served beside makki di roti and saag. Shakkar is the one to sprinkle over a hot paratha with a spoon of ghee, to sweeten lassi, kheer and sooji halwa, or to dust over sliced fruit. Choose the block for slow cooking and sweets where it melts, and shakkar wherever it needs to dissolve quickly or be scattered.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBoth forms draw moisture from the air and can turn sticky, so keep them in an airtight tin in a cool cupboard. If the block has set too hard to cut, grate it or warm it briefly, and break up any lumps in shakkar with your fingers.
