Kamarkattu – Traditional Coconut Jaggery Candy
Kamarkattu is a time-honored South Indian sweet known for its chewy texture and deep, caramelized flavor. Made by slowly cooking freshly grated coconut with pure jaggery, a touch of ghee, and sometimes a hint of cardamom, this rustic treat transforms simple ingredients into a rich, satisfying candy.
The mixture is stirred over a low flame until it thickens and begins to pull together, then hand-shaped into small, firm balls. As it cools, Kamarkattu develops a chewy consistency and a robust flavor that balances the nutty sweetness of jaggery with the warmth of toasted coconut.
Traditionally enjoyed in Tamil Nadu and southern India, Kamarkattu is more than just a sweet—it’s a bite of nostalgia, often made at home during festivals or offered as a wholesome after-school snack for children. Its simplicity and natural ingredients make it a treasured choice for those seeking an authentic, old-fashioned indulgence.
Our Kamarkattu is handcrafted in small batches, using only natural ingredients with no palm oil, preservatives, or artificial additives. Every piece is a celebration of tradition, purity, and flavor.
