Gud or jaggery is unprocessed form of sugar and has been used traditionally in India for making sweets for festivals and rituals. Most of our generation would still remember the nice taste of these sweets, however the same is hard to say for next few generations. You can still find it in the super markets, so while its still easily available, let’s transfer the recipes to our younger generation. I made Gud Pag in preparation for the Sankranti festival which is round the corner as it has been traditionally used in my family. It tastes best during winters and this is just the right time to make it. So get the Gud Pag Recipe here and give your personal signature to the festivities.
