Instead of Jaggery or sugar
JaggeryUse the same weight, grated or chopped. It gives a deeper, more mineral sweetness and darker colour.
Caster sugarUse the same weight. It gives a clean sweetness with no molasses; the dish will be lighter in colour.
Light brown soft sugarUse the same weight. It adds mild molasses and a little colour; dissolve fully.
