Karupatti coffee is one of the healthy and common street foods in Tamil Nadu and Kerala. Even it is very popular over the beaches. A nice evening with some crunchy vadai and Karupatti Coffee is heaven.
Before marriage, I was not a great fan of karupatti coffee, but hubby is very fond of it and he asks me to prepare often. So I used to taste it whenever I prepare for him. This is when I started liking it and it goes very well with bajji or vadai. So give a try . Now let’s see how to prepare karupatti Coffee.

What is Karupatti or Palm Jaggery
Karupatti which is also known as Panna Vellam or Palm Jaggery is made from the extract of the Palm tree. It is often used as a natural sweetener in cakes, cookies, coffee, or any other sweets. It is rich in Iron and Potassium.
Karupatti is a very popular sweetener used these days in place of Sugar. It has a deep brown color and it varies from light brown to deep brown depending on the purity quality of the Palm Jaggery.
Karupatti Coffee with Milk
My Karupatti Coffee is a milk-less version. However, you may also prepare it with milk. Instead of Water, you will have to use Milk. The taste is good either way.
Vegan Karupatti Coffee
I always prefer the vegan version instead of the version with Milk. It is light and this is the traditional way of preparing Palm Jaggery Coffee.
How to make Karupatti Coffee
1.In a small sauce pan add water to this add in the palm jaggery and mix well.
2.Next to this add in the coffee powder and dry ginger powder if using and wait till it comes to a boil and simmer for 5 mins.
3.Switch off the flame and strain to remove the impurities and serve.
Serving Suggestions:
Serve hot with Vadai or Bajji in the evening.

I guess this is an acquired taste. I once made this when we got chukku karupatti and the kapi tasted awesome, Later when I made with regular karupatti and added chukku, it was not so great. The pics looks nice Sharmila.
Suma Gandlur says

I have heard a lot about this coffee, but never tastes it. I should try it when I come to India. I have some palm jaggery at home. I am becoming lactose intolerant and this will be a good coffee for me to try without milk.
