What were the parameters we set while reviewing Aazol Homemade Coconut Jaggery Chikki?

The flavor, freshness, texture, and ingredients were our prime parameters.

1. Taste 

Under taste, we gauged how prominent the flavors of the ingredients were and whether or not they tasted fresh. 

Coconut has a natural sweet, nutty, and slightly milky flavor, was this present? What about the caramel-like sweetness of kaakvi?

2. Texture

This is a soft chikki, which is not something you expect upon hearing the term ‘chikki’. You anticipate peanuts or sesame. This was a different bite altogether.

How is the texture of grated coconut and liquid jaggery (kaakvi)? Did it make the chikki too moist or did it retain a bite?

3. Other Parameters

The price, packaging, shelf life, ingredients were also recorded. 

Price + Packaging

The packaging had a very homestyle aesthetic to it. The chikki squares were individually wrapped and placed inside the resealable brown pouch. Each chikki was placed in a piece of butter paper and sealed with an olive sticker. 

One pouch holds 10 pieces and is priced at Rs 225/-. This has a six-month shelf life and must be stored in a cool, dry place, in an airtight environment. 

Main Ingredients

Coconut and kaakvi (liquid jaggery) are the only ingredients that go into the making. No additives, preservatives, colors, flavors are used. Thumbs up!

Why is coconut + jaggery a combination grannies swear by?

Coconut is fibrous, high in fats and proteins, and cooling in nature. Jaggery, on the other hand, is a fantastic source of iron and warming- which makes it perfect for winters. 

Aroma + Appearance

This was a decent-sized square (approx 5×5 cm) that had a light golden brown appearance. As stated in the ingredient list, this smelled exactly like fresh coconut and jaggery. 

Taste + Texture

The texture wasn’t like a hard chikki, it was chewy and fibrous like grated coconut is. Soft and flaky, these coconut flakes linger on after the bite is finished. 

PS- this is quite sticky, but we loved it. Remove from the paper carefully.

The taste was fresh, natural, and JUST PERFECT. Balanced sweetness from jaggery and naturally from coconut, plus the nutty flavor of coconut was impressive. What we liked even better was that both ingredients were shining through equally. As mentioned above, this was fresh, there were no stale flavors of coconut gone bad or underlying caramely bitterness of jaggery.
