This cheesecake leans into the warm sweetness of jaggery rather than refined sugar, giving the filling a mellow caramel depth that pairs beautifully with cream cheese. The slow bake keeps the centre tender, while the chilled setting gives it a neat slice. The sesame praline adds a crisp break that contrasts the creamy base, bringing balance and character to every bite.

Each layer brings texture: crisp vadas, creamy chutneys, and fresh onions for crunch.
