🍯 Chana Jaggery Gajak (Chikki) - 100% Jaggery, Traditionally Crafted
🥜 A crisp, deeply satisfying gajak made with 47.5% farm-sourced jaggery, 47.5% slow-roasted chana (roasted gram), and 5% cold-pressed white sesame seed oil.
❌ No refined sugar. ❌ No glucose.
✅ Only jaggery, grain, skill, and tradition - exactly how authentic gajak was meant to be.
Rooted in North Indian winter traditions, our Chana Jaggery Gajak celebrates the pairing of roasted chana and jaggery - once valued as affordable, nourishing energy food.
Unlike market chikkis that rely on refined sugar or glucose syrup, we use 100% jaggery. Our artisans rely on precise jaggery boiling - reaching a narrow temperature window where jaggery binds perfectly without turning grainy, sticky, or brittle-hard. This requires experience, patience, and small-batch control.
The result: a gajak that breaks cleanly, melts slowly, and delivers sustained satiety rather than sharp sweetness.

Before thermometers were common, gajak makers judged jaggery readiness by dropping a strand of syrup into cold water and stretching it between fingers. The exact “snap” determined success - a skill passed down through generations.
