DIY Pop Tarts In the Kitchen with Chetna Makan

Jaggery is a sugar product hailing from Southeast Asia and Africa. Its flavor profile is similar to that of muscovadoa molasses-heavy sugar that is unrefined. These sweet cream cheese pastries from Chetna start with a super tender pastry crust made with cream cheese for extra richness, and are then filled with a cashew and almond filling, sweetened with a bit of the jaggery.
