Rare: small-batch, regional or few stockists How we score
Rarity is our editors’ score for how hard something is to find in the US and how unusual it is to make: availability (supermarket, specialty shop or maker only), production (small-batch, seasonal, foraged) and how unusual the ingredient or method is.
- 1 Familiar twist: easy to find, unusual flavour
- 2 Specialty: good grocers and online
- 3 Uncommon: mostly from the maker or specialty shops
- 4 Rare: small-batch, regional or few stockists
- 5 Very rare: tiny batches, foraged or one of a kind
Why it’s rare
Chikki is usually peanut and jaggery; this one swaps in dry fruits and gulkand, the sun-cured rose-petal preserve from paan.
