Stem Ginger, Nolen Gur & Masala Chai — Afternoon Impropriety
₹650.00
A biscuit that has absolutely no interest in being subtle. Warmly spiced, deeply gingery, with a lemon ginger icing that pops — eat this with strong tea and good conversation.
What makes it special
The stem ginger is not a flavouring. It is the point. The dough-to-stem-ginger ratio is almost 1:1, so every bite is genuinely, unashamedly gingery — the sweetness underscored by the smoky richness of nolen gur and the warmth of pepper, cardamom, cinnamon, and the rest of the chai spices. Finished with a lemon ginger icing for brightness and a bit of a pop.
| Ingredients | Refined wheat flour, vegan butter, dark brown sugar, nolen gur (date palm jaggery), molasses, homemade stem ginger, masala chai spice blend, salt |
|---|---|
| Techniques | otal prep is 48 hours. Fresh ginger is hand-chopped, frozen, then slow-stewed, and the cooking liquid is reduced for two hours with liquid nolen gur — jhola gud, a smoked, dark, intensely complex date palm jaggery. The stewed ginger goes back in. What emerges is sticky, aromatic, and quietly extraordinary. |
| Source | Nolen gur from an artisan date palm jaggery farm in Bankura, West Bengal. Chai masala from Magadh Van, a biodiversity farm in Karnataka. |
| Best had | With a pot of strong Assam tea. On a rainy afternoon. With no particular place to be. |
