Trivia
[Hardcore] 'Ganne' is sugarcane, 'Ras' is juice. 'Earthy sweetness' with grassy deep richness totally different from refined sugar sweetness. Too sweet alone, so Indian style invariably tightens flavor with ginger, lemon, and 'black salt'. Stall surroundings having mountains of squeezed dregs (bagasse) and bees attracted by sweet smell is daily scenery.
