Sweet Jaggery Rice (Gur Wale Chawal) Enter your email below and get it sent straight to your inbox. Plus, get recipes & tips every week! Every year, my lovely friends Asiya (Chocolate & Chillies), Henna (Chai & Churros), and Sarah (Flour & Spice Blog) host a virtual potluck called Eid Eats. This year, I went traditional. And by traditional, I mean super, next-level, ask-your-grandmother-what-it-is traditional. (For more traditional recipes check out my 25+ Traditional Pakistani Dishes Recipe Collection). Jaggery rice is becoming a distant memory. I once took it to an actual Eid Potluck and I remember several comments along the lines of “Bachpan ki yaad taaza kar di” (reminds me of my childhood). I brought it to that potluck because I love to revive that memory, and I’m bringing it to Eid Eats for the same reason. This recipe is for everyone who has a faint recollection of the sweet aroma and rich, earthy taste of jaggery rice. It’s for anyone who wants to experience a simple yet memorable South Asian dessert. It’s also for my newly-married self who scoured the internet desperately seeking a decent jaggery rice recipe. This dish is special to me, and that’s why I want to preserve it. If you have any further questions, please feel free to comment below. I’d also love to hear about your memories or if you’ve heard of jaggery rice! And as always, don’t forget to let me know if you try the recipe. Eid Mubarak to all my friends, near and far!
