But, you would still be able to take a few teaspoons of it easily to add it to your coffee/tea. You can replace the harmful sugar cubes in your coffee, tea and other beverages and also a few sweets like appam, paniyaram with this Karupatti Paagu
I had gone there for the village festival and all kids and relatives where chit-chatting by the side of our Neem tree when my grandmom came out from the kitchen with a large pot full of this coffee and a plate full of Kaimurukkus for our evening snack (BTW, she makes so very yummy murukkus)
The magic drink is sukku malli kappi made with karupatti / dry ginger coffee made with palm jaggery. Then strain the impurities and serve the hot sukku kappi/ dry ginger coffee
Ghee/Oil for frying. There are lot of regional cuisine in tamilnadu and i thought of starting with sweet recipe, so chosen the famous Karupatti Kuzhi Paniyaram from Chettinad cuisine
Palmfruit/SugarPalm has a lot of health benefits. Ice Apple,Palm fruit, SugarPalm, Tala Saja or Nungu is one such fruit you will find on every street corner during summer
During my mom's recent trip to India, she came back with some palm jaggery which am adding in my tea or coffee instead of sugar, tastewise they dont change anything but somehow none at home like this jaggery

Palmsugar or panakarkandu is murky,cloudy kind of sugar got from palm tree. It is stickier than cane sugar and also healthier than normal white sugar with loads of calcium in it
Add coconut milk/milk after removing it from the gas stove. But once stopped using sugar making this became less frequent and I was hesitating to make it with palmsugar
