Karupatti Coffee- It's Different

Have you ever heard of Karupatti Coffee? I am sure you have not! You know, when I was living in Bangalore, I used a local flavor. They called it Bella Kaapi. It probably tasted the same as the one I mentioned here, the Karupatti Coffee, which is popular in Chennai, where I have lived for a few months.

Let me add that Karnataka’s Bella Kaapi is also famous as palm jaggery coffee, made using jaggery by reducing the palm plants to make this black coffee. I always thought palm jaggery was better than raw sugar or the jaggery made of sugarcane. Incidentally, many people that do not use sugar in their coffee do not mind using jaggery as they feel it doesn't increase fat, thus saving them from obesity.

So the Karupatti coffee is prepared using water and palm jaggery. Karupatti Coffee is also useful for healing your cramps, cough, and cold if you drink it while it's still sizzling hot. I have tried it and it sure made me feel better. I can say that Karupatti Coffee is healthier than normal sugar coffee. I never use milk or cream, but just add the palm jaggery and water and your Karupatti coffee is ready.
