Nellai Palm Jaggery Ghee Mysorepak

Description

Mysorepak is one of South India’s most celebrated sweets — but this version from Nellai (Tirunelveli) takes a distinctive approach. Rather than the conventional sugar, it is made with Palm Jaggery (Panangkarupatti), a natural sweetener prized for its deep, slightly smoky flavour and its mineral content. Combined with generous quantities of pure ghee and gram flour, this Mysorepak is crumbly, melt-in-mouth, and richly aromatic in a way that sugar-based versions simply cannot match. Nellai has a long tradition of sweet-making, and this palm jaggery variant is one of its proudest offerings.
