Jaali (Mesh Bag)·جالی
Roman Urdu: Jaali / Jali
A jaali is the open mesh (net) bag used to pack onion, garlic and potato in the mandi. The mesh lets air circulate so these crops don't rot or sweat, which is why they ship in jaali rather than a closed bardana or a peti. Lots are counted by number of jaali at a standard fill — a potato or onion jaali is commonly around 20–25 kg — and the daam is quoted per jaali or per maund of net weight.
