In UP and Delhi, I believe misri refers not to the everyday small crystalline sugar, but the bigger chunks. And in some parts of Kerala, I've heard the same thing referred to as 'kalkandam'. Chini is the white crystalline sugar which is now predominant. Or does someone know it differently? -- - Hassath
