Jaggery or gur. Palm sugar, obtained from the sap of, usually, the date or Palmyra palm. It is used extensively in Indian cooking and has a flavour reminiscent of Demerara sugar (US: light brown (granulated) sugar). Palm sugar is the better quality of the two.
Black pomphret. The white pomphret is slightly more of a delicacy than black or brown pomphret. The flesh falls away from the bones for easy eating.
