Assalam o Alaikum! Grip on Trip's new episode is very interesting as I'm smiling. I waited for 6.7 months to record this episode. It could be recorded in winter season only. I will show you today how jaggery is produced. I you have watched it on TV or internet, I would suggest you to watch it live. It is an interesting activity.
You also get to eat free and I will eat free, you will see. Let me tell you that jaggery is very beneficial. UN has already declared sugar white poison. Pakistan has seen an increase of 10 million sugar patients in last 3, 4 years. People are discouraging sugar. Jaggery demand is increasing day by day. Let me show you how jaggery is produced and how it is eaten. Stay with me. The process starts with the juice of sugarcane. This juice machine is different from that of the city. 2 utensils are put in a ditch for juice. When the utensils are full, they are poured into a big pan. Juice is filtered and shifted to next pan where it is cooked. There are 5 to 6 people and everyone is expert of his job. You pass first! He doesn't know Grip on Trip is recording.

The old man who is blowing fire knows well how much heat the pan requires at different stages. He ensures heat. The supervising engineers decides when to filter the pan and how much edible soda water is to be poured and when to put it out of the pan as per its thickness. A unit of 5 to 6 people makes it happen. 10 families are being fed due to us. Mashallah! How much do you produce daily? About 4 to 5 maunds daily. People come from nearby villages? From villages and cities alike. Some buy juice, some buy sugarcane and some purchase jaggery. Do you grow sugarcanes? No, we buy it. From do you buy sugarcanes? From farmers. They deliver us here. All right. Show us how do you produce it. Fire smoke is emitting our of this chimney. It is their filtration plant. Juice goes down through this sieve. It is a very simple apparatus with a pipe. They pour juice in the pan as per their requirement. It starts cooking here. Mashallah, its colour is so beautiful. Mustard oil is added for shine in the product. Edible soda is also added to cleanse the juice.

JAGGERY MAKING |
It is thickening with the passage of time. When they started cooking, it was full to that circle point. It is thickening and we are waiting for it to get prepared. They are checking its thickness either it should be brought out of pan or not and only he knows when to get it out. It cannot be get out half cooked or over cooked. It is shaken continually. It is a delicate process. If it is not shaken, it can get unbalanced. Don't laugh, it is for me. You are watching an amazing method. You have to keep rolling to save this sticky juice from falling. We will send it to digestive system. He has offered me special sticky juice which is called 'Cheerh'
in Punjabi. I don't know about the Urdu word for it. The process was very interesting that you have to keep rolling it so that it does not fall. His arm was also rolled in its rolling, I asked him to unroll and help him in the process. It tastes tastier than jaggery. My mouth is stuck. The people who had come to buy jaggery were holding sugarcane. I thought they were about to fight. But they were waiting. It is very good item. We will get 2, 3 kg jaggery.

It is very tasty. You can make a flute after finishing it. It will be turned into jaggery after cooling. This is the most fun part. Jaggery is lifted in pieces with a wooden spoon with great care. Final product is ready. They have produced 70% jaggery and 30% gachak. It is soft, hot and fresh, very different from what we eat. I will ask them to give me 25, 26 tries then I will tell you about its quality. Some people reach on spot to buy jaggery. Have you come to purchase jaggery? Yes, I have come for the first time. Is there any difference from what you get from market? Ofcourse, they prepare fresh in front of your eyes.
Bazar does not offer fresh jaggery. It gives satisfaction. Do you want to avoid sugar? Yes, jaggery is best as compared to sugar. It used to be consumed in olden days. How was today's episode?
