Coconut jaggery is an essential ingredient for most Goan Catholic sweets such as dodol, pinagr, patoleo and alle-belle. Food blogger Sapna Sardessai says that though this jaggery, like the toddy vinegar, is not used in typical Hindu preparations, she, herself, likes it and uses it in preparations like patoleao and coconut-filled neuro. “Coconut jaggery is definitely tastier than the sugarcane one that is used abundantly is Hindu cuisine,&rdquo.
