A good masala chai is one of the small pleasures of Indian life that never gets old. But making a truly good one — the kind with real spice depth, not just cardamom and ginger — takes time and the right ingredients measured just right. Dhampur Green Masala Gur for chai makes that easier without taking anything away from the experience. It is jaggery at 90%, blended with cardamom, cinnamon, black pepper, and a mix of dried ginger, clove, star anise, nutmeg, and turmeric — a full masala chai spice blend already combined with the sweetener, so one spoonful into your chai does the work of both sweetening and spicing in one go.
What makes this different from just adding separate spices to your chai is the balance. Getting the ratio of cardamom to cinnamon to pepper right every single morning is harder than it sounds, and most people end up with a chai that is either too heavy on one spice or missing something. Here, the spice blend has already been calibrated — 2% cardamom for that sweet floral note that is the heart of masala chai, 0.5% cinnamon for warmth and depth, 1% black pepper for that gentle back-of-the-throat heat, and 3% of the remaining spice blend carrying ginger, clove, star anise, nutmeg, and a touch of turmeric for a rounded, complex masala. And because the base is 90% jaggery rather than refined sugar, the sweetness itself carries that earthy, caramel-tinged gur flavour that makes masala chai taste properly desi.
Using it is simple — add a teaspoon to your chai while it is brewing, stir it in, and the masala gur dissolves and releases its spices into the milk and tea together. The chai comes out aromatic, warmly spiced, and sweetened all at once. It also works beautifully in a kadha — the traditional Indian herbal brew made with ginger, clove, and black pepper that has been a trusted home remedy for colds and sore throats for as long as anyone can remember. A teaspoon of Masala Gur in warm water or warm milk gives you a kadha-style drink without assembling all the separate spices. And for anyone experimenting with spiced desserts, baked goods, or savoury dishes that need a touch of sweet-spiced complexity, this jar is a genuinely useful kitchen ingredient beyond just chai.
The 250g jar at a 9-month shelf life is practical for daily chai drinkers — enough to last months without taking up too much space. Handcrafted by Dhampure Speciality Sugars Limited, a company that has been working with traditional Indian food and jaggery for over 30 years. A small jar, a big upgrade to your daily chai.

How to Use:
For Masala Chai — add 1 teaspoon per cup to your tea while brewing. Stir in with the milk and let it dissolve as the chai simmers. Adjust to taste for sweetness and spice strength. For Kadha — dissolve 1–2 teaspoons in a cup of hot water or warm milk for a warming spiced drink. For Warm Milk — stir into warm milk as a bedtime drink. For Oatmeal and Cereals — sprinkle over the top or stir in for a spiced jaggery sweetener that adds more character than plain sugar.
Ideal For:
Masala chai, kadha, spiced warm milk, oatmeal, spiced baked goods, and any recipe where you want a jaggery sweetener that already carries the warmth of Indian spices.
