Bengali Narkel Naru

I am not very strict on writing specifically about Bengali food as for me food has no boundaries but I can't ignore the fact that our upbringing, culture, and taste have a great influence on food. So after some back-to-back Westernized Baked dishes now it's the turn of a typical, traditional Bengali sweet dish which is nothing but Narkel Naru. I believe almost every active cooking member of  Bengali families can make Narkel Naru. Gurer Naru is one of the basic yet important sweets from Bengali cuisine prepared with freshly grated Coconut and Jaggery.

Gurer Narkel Naru or Narkel Naru flavored with Jaggery

Before going further it is better to describe Narkel Naru a bit, especially for the readers who are not much aware of the Bengali cuisine. Narkel Naru is a fudge prepared with Coconut and flavored with either sugar or Jaggery. In this post, I am going to share the recipe of Gurer Narkel Naru or Narkol Naru flavored with Jaggery.

Durgapujo and Naru; the unconditional relation

Gurer Narkol Naru prepared by my Dida (grannie) was the ultimate! We used to visit my Mom’s ancestral place Dhaniakhali during some special occasions of the Poojas of Madanmohan Thakur and Dida used to stay there for Three months a year (during Rathjatra, Mochchob, and Doljatra) for the special Pooja. In the evening, Thakur was worshiped with Gurer Narkol Naru every day. That Prasad was divine. For the rest of the 9 months, she used to stay in her house in Howrah, and every now and then she used to send containers full of Naru for me. Mehebub is also a great fan of Dida’s Naru and Mom used to carry Narkel Naru Prepared by dida for him ( and for me too). Dida is no more today but the recipe is with me and it will remain..

Recipe Tip!

In fact, Dida used to make Naru during Durga Puja as well but at that time she used to add little Mawa to the Narkol Naru to make it richer. The recipe I am sharing is with Mawa, however, you can skip that and use only Jaggery.
