This fits best into my routine on a slow Saturday. I use two cubes for kheer, and the preparation takes little extra thought. In my North Carolina kitchen, the result in kheer justified a cautious reorder.

I waited a few weeks before reviewing this because jaggery behaves differently from recipe to recipe. In kheer, I used two cubes and melted them separately. A second attempt confirmed the earthy note. It worked, although humidity softens the pieces reduced the convenience.

The second serving of a road trip confirmed my positive impression. I used three bites for a road trip during a weekend cleaning day, and the result was easy to repeat. For my routine as a busy parent, the result on a road trip made the purchase worthwhile.

The texture mattered more than I expected. In granola, a quarter cup was easy to control after I combined it with melted ghee. It has earned a regular place in my pantry.

When my usual sweetener ran out, I tried two small cubes in sweet pongal. For my routine as a newly married cook, the result in sweet pongal made the purchase worthwhile. The flavor had an earthy note. It is now my preferred option for sweet pongal.
