Masala gur, also known as masala jaggery, is a delightful concoction that combines the rich, earthy sweetness of jaggery with a burst of aromatic spices & rich nuts.

Jaggery, spices and nuts are clubbed together and makes a delicious sweet and usually consumed after the meals.

WHY MASALA GUR IS EATEN AFTER MEALS ?

In many cultures, including Indian tradition, it’s common to consume jaggery after a meal for various reasons:

1. DIGESTIVE AID: Jaggery is so good to aid digestion. Consuming a bite of jaggery after a meal, be it lunch or dinner, may help in stimulating digestive enzymes, promoting better digestion and preventing issues like bloating or indigestion.

2. SATISFYING SWEET CRAVINGS: This usually happens that you crave for something sweet after the meal and what else can be a better and healthier alternative to refined sugar other than jaggery.

3. NUTRIENT BOOST: Jaggery is rich in essential minerals, especially iron, magnesium and potassium, which provides a nutritional boost and helps replenish any deficiencies.

4. TRADITIONAL PRACTICES : In many cultures, including Ayurveda, it’s believed that eating jaggery after a meal helps balance the doshas (bioenergies) in the body, promoting overall well-being and vitality.

5. FRESHENS BREATHE: This jaggery recipe filled with lots of nuts and spices is a best substitute to mouth fresheners. Its sweet taste can help mask any lingering flavors from the meal.

6. A WINTER DELICACY: This recipe is most likely loved during winters because jaggery helps to keep the body warm and also plays a major roll to cure cold, cough and minor winter ailments.

7. OVERALL A HEALTHY TREAT : Along with jaggery, the other spices and nuts added in the recipe have their own benefits.
