Hi all, in lieu of the increasing adulteration of palm jaggery, im looking for pure patali/khejur gud (date palm jaggery) which is primarily available only in winters in bengal. Can anyone from bengal guide about authentic sources having courier facility to purchase from ? And what is the normal price range/kg ??
Also if anyone can help in fishtail palm jaggery (kithul jaggery), it will be great 🙏

Any bengali dimers need guidance for.patali gur , if you can help please.dm 😃
Its very difficult to get genuine patali even in Bengal. The palm tree sap is very liquid and it needs below 10C temperature to solidify, which is now rare in Bangal winters. So they mostly add other additives to solidify it. The khejur gur (liquid variety) is still possible to obtain. But only if you know someone who actually prepares it and make him ensure that they do not add sugar or other additives. It is mainly produced in Bankura, Purulia and Midnapur.
is it not from sugarcane ???
here in my city , once when i bunked college with my friends , randomly walking we went to some farms where they were making fresh Gur from sugarcane directly ,, and we took a lot of hot hot gur from them in just 5rs … i think they gave us around 300-400 gm gur that too in 5rs this story is not so old just 3-4 years back
sugarcane jaggery is the common form all over India. Date palm and also regular palm jaggery are special varieties of Bengal. the three are different.
পাটালি বাংলাতেই এখন বিরল জিনিস।।। it’s already rare in bengal too
You can find it in haatt organised near malda city (west Bengal)
