Kamarkat / Kamarkattu

Coconut Jaggery Candy Cooked to Perfection

Kamarkattu consists of coconut and jaggery cooked until properly set. Many versions stick to teeth because the jaggery hasn't reached sufficient temperature.

The jaggery must reach hard crack stage. Slightly before this point it remains chewy; slightly beyond it becomes brittle. At precisely the right point, it's firm yet bites cleanly. This requires experience and attention to visual cues rather than relying solely on temperature readings.

We use fresh grated coconut rather than desiccated. The moisture content affects cooking time. Whilst desiccated coconut is easier to work with due to uniformity, fresh coconut delivers authentic flavour.

Kalkona Mittai and Coconut Jaggery Candy are regional names for this preparation. Buy Kamarkattu Online for candy cooked to proper eating texture rather than maximum shipping durability. Traditional coastal sweet prepared correctly.
