The chilate itself is left unsweetened on purpose, so all the sweetness comes from the panela syrup poured over the nuégados.
A hot, lightly spiced corn drink flavored with ginger, served alongside small deep-fried yuca dumplings drizzled in raw cane syrup. Street vendors sell the pair together from carts near town parks and churches.
Why it's made this way: Chilate with nuégados is a traditional pairing across El Salvador, especially popular in the cooler months and during Lent.
