Study Notes
Haddha Saviyaatha is a term used to describe the process of making 'jaggery' in Sri Lanka. Jaggery refers to unrefined sugar produced from palm sap, also known as kithul treacle or coconut jaggery. This type of sweetener has been widely popular in South Asia since ancient times and was historically considered more nutritious than refined sugar. It can be made by boiling down the sugary liquid derived from various types of palms, either alone or mixed with other ingredients such as neem leaves or coconut husks.
The production of haddha saviyaatha involves several steps: first, the juice is extracted from the palm through pressing; then it is evaporated until it reaches the consistency required for the specific kind of jaggery being produced; next comes purification and filtering through cloths soaked in vinegar or salt water before finally pouring into molds where they cool off completely. Once ready, these can be sold directly at local markets throughout rural areas across Sri Lanka.
This traditional method has seen some modern adaptations to improve efficiency. For example, one type of jaggery known as methu thalduwa (or honeycomb) uses different raw materials like molasses, dark brown sugar, or caramelized cane syrup combined together with water. Another adaptation called ambala mayamblla is made by heating ash of burnt rice and mixing it up thoroughly with liquid sugar until reaching desired thickness. These alternatives were developed due to changing tastes among consumers who prefer lighter flavors instead of strong ones present naturally when using coconuts only.
In conclusion, Haddha Saviyaatha represents an old yet versatile form of preparing sweets in Sri Lankan cuisine which continues to be appreciated today despite facing competition from artificial sweeteners available on the market nowadays.
