Why Platestory
- Jaggery from a Karaikal supplier, not generic dark sugar.

Frequently asked
Is it as sweet as regular cake?
Less sweet. Jaggery is less aggressive on the palate than refined sugar.
Can I have it without ghee?
Yes, request 'no ghee' at order. Loses the pongal aroma but still works.
Do you make it during the rest of the year?
Usually only Pongal week. Special request other times of year possible.
