What does JAGRA mean in Scrabble?
noun
Indian English
A coarse, dark, unrefined sugar made by boiling down the sap of certain palm trees; a variant name for jaggery.
Producers make jagra by tapping sweet sap from palm trees and slowly boiling it down until it thickens and hardens into blocks or a soft paste. The resulting sugar keeps some of the minerals and flavor lost in fully refined white sugar, giving jagra a deeper, caramel-like taste. Cooks across South Asia use jagra in sweets, sauces, and drinks in place of refined sugar. The word appears mainly as a regional variant spelling alongside the more familiar jaggery.
