About Karupatti Coffee
Karupatti Coffee(கருப்பட்டி வெல்லம் / Panai Vellam) is black coffee without milk made with palm jaggery. If you prefer you can make this coffee with milk but traditionally it is made like this so wanted to post it the same way. Palm Jaggery is is natural and unrefined so sure a healthy alternate to sugar coffee. This coffee is very refreshing.
Few weeks back, my neighbor gave a pack of fresh karupatti which she got from her hometown, I wanted to try recipes with it so this is my first easy recipe with karupatti. As the one I got is fresh she insisted to break the whole karupatti into pieces and refrigerate it. But if you buy the packed ones which is available at many supermarkets, then you can refrigerate it as whole itself.
