Hajari GUR
This was no ordinary serving of molasses. This was Hajari Gur, a particular variant of molasses native to Jhitka in Manikganj, in the outskirts of Dhaka. With a process and tradition which goes back over 150 years, it has been renowned around the country.
Hajar Gur (Hajari molasses) has been a cultural asset in Manikganj. Its iconic feature is its surprising vulnerability to the slightest of pressures. According to merchants and locals, this particular variant of molasses also possesses unparalleled sweetness.
The demand for Hajari Gur is always high, even before the season. Many people place orders in advance as, during winter, the demand is sky-high. As a result, a kilo of Hajari Gur costs five to ten times more than ordinary molasses
