Kamarkattu

Bold, chewy, and unapologetically rustic. Our Kamarukattu is a traditional Tamil sweet made by slow-roasting grated coconut and jaggery until it caramelizes into chewy perfection. A village classic that evokes childhood memories, temple fairs, and grandma’s pantry.

✅ Why It Stands Out:

• Made with pure jaggery and fresh coconut
• No additives, no shortcuts—just authentic flavor
• Chewy texture with deep caramel notes
• Ideal for snacking, gifting, and nostalgic indulgence
• Delivered fresh from our Chennai kitchen
