Jaggery or caster sugar
Gud ya cheeni
4.2 g1 teaspoon
13 g1 tablespoon
Caster sugar about 4.2 g/tsp; grated jaggery is similar.
Instead of Jaggery or caster sugar
Light brown soft sugarUse the same weight. It has mild molasses and is close to caster sugar with a little colour; taste and adjust.
- Dark brown sugar
Use 90% of the weight. It has stronger molasses, which suits dishes where jaggery was intended; dissolve fully.
HoneyUse 75% of the weight. Reduce other liquid by about 20% and add off the heat; it brings its own floral flavour.
