Our sweets
Amritha Phala · our best seller, found only at Cocoguru
Amritha Phala is a traditional sweet of Tulu Naadu. Its flavour comes from whole coconut milk and cow’s milk, cooked slowly together for about two and a half hours.
As the water cooks off, the coconut milk turns into coconut oil and the cow’s milk keeps its fat as ghee. So you get the two fats people here love most, coconut oil and ghee, in one well-roasted sweet. Everything except the sugar cooks down, so the sweetness is rich and strong.
Banana Halwa · over-ripe Nendra banana and jaggery
Banana halwa is made from over-ripe Nendra banana, a favourite across coastal Karnataka and Kerala. It is sweetened with jaggery instead of sugar, which adds flavour and gives the halwa its dark colour, and it is made with ghee instead of vanaspati.
It is cooked long and slow, so it turns out chewy and not soft, the way halwa is made at home.
Peanut Chikki · big groundnuts from Gujarat and jaggery
Our peanut chikki is made with special groundnuts brought from Gujarat, big in size and tasty. The peanuts are roasted, the skin is removed, and they are mixed with hot jaggery syrup.
We add no liquid glucose, which some makers use because it gives more time and makes shaping the chikki easier. Ours is just peanut and jaggery.
Ellu Unde · roasted sesame laddu
Ellu unde is a sesame laddu. The sesame (til) is roasted and shaped into small balls with hot jaggery syrup, made with the same care as all our sweets.
Shaping the balls is not easy, because it has to be done quickly before the jaggery crystallises. That is why a well-made ellu unde is special.
Coming soon · what we plan to make
