Quick answer
Use date powder wherever you would use sugar: 1–2 teaspoons in chai, coffee or warm milk, in porridge and sheera, and one-for-one in ladoo, kheer, halwa and baking. White date powder is milder for chai; black date powder is richer for milk and sweets.
Ten everyday uses
- Morning chai: 1–2 teaspoons of Safed Kharik. Stir, wait, stir again.
- Bedtime haldi doodh or warm milk: Kala Kharik gives a caramel note.
- Filter coffee and cold coffee: white date powder keeps the coffee taste clean.
- Dalia, oats and ragi porridge: stir in at the end.
- Sheera and halwa: replace sugar one-for-one.
- Kheer and payasam: add after the milk thickens.
- Dinkache ladoo and dry-fruit ladoo: see our dinkache ladoo recipe.
- Smoothies and lassi: a spoon with banana or mango.
- Cakes and cookies: one-for-one for a softer, moister crumb.
- Shrikhand and yogurt bowls: sprinkle and stir.
Small tips
- Date powder has fibre, so some may settle. That is the fruit, not dirt.
- In very hot milk it blends faster.
- Close the pouch after every use to keep it soft and free-flowing.
