MISHRI KATI HUI

Homemade mishri kati hui (crushed rock sugar) is made by breaking down naturally crystallized sugar lumps into smaller, easy-to-use pieces. Known for its purity, cooling effect, and sweet, soothing taste, mishri is widely used in Indian households — from sweetening milk, kheer, and herbal teas to being consumed directly for throat relief and as a mouth freshener when mixed with fennel seeds (saunf). Unlike refined sugar, mishri is less processed, retains natural minerals in trace amounts, and provides quick energy.
