Jaggery is used as an ingredient in both sweet and savory dishes across India and Sri Lanka. For example, a pinch of jaggery is sometimes added to sambar, rasam, and other staples in India.
Jaggery is also added to lentil soups (dal) to add sweetness to balance the spicy, salty, and sour components, particularly in Gujarati cuisine.
