Desi Dhaga Mishri | Rock candy देशी धागा खडीसाखर (Handmade)

Desi Dhaga Misri is also known as Khadi Shakkar / Sakhar. It is obtained from Desi Khandsari.

The name dhaga misri is given as it is made by leaving threads in Khandsari during the process of crystallization. i.e. this misri has threads intact with it. As it is prepared from the traditional method, it has golden brown/light brown colour. It is made in small batches and is handmade. It is one of the skilled artisanal works as it involves a knack to understand the heating and cooling temperatures required for Dhaga Misri and also the perfect timing when the Misri is completely done.
