Shot in the arm for kithul
kithul palm and on this Thursday morning, Kussi Amma Sera – before joining her friends for their under-the-margosa-tree weekly gossip – brought a mug of steaming tea to the office room with a piece of jaggery, saying: “Sir, meh hakuru harima rasai (Sir, this jaggery is very tasty).” I love jaggery and without batting an eyelid, I ate the entire piece (a big one) before even sipping the tea! Yes, it was tasty and the real thing. You also have fake jaggery, a little bit of kithul and lots of sugar. The conversation under the margosa tree was also about jaggery and treacle. “
