Til Chikki (Til Gajak or Tilgul)

Til Chikki

Til Chikki

Til Chikki also called Til Gajak or Tilgul. It is favorable during winter because of it has health benefits. This sesame Chikki and Til Ladoo is most popular during festivals like Makar Sankranti and Uttarayan in Gujarat and Maharashtra. This crunchy brittle is made of jaggery and sesame seeds. You can have it whenever you crave for something sweet.

Til Chikki

Til Chikki is made up of Sesame Seeds and Jaggery, so it is healthy too. Jaggery is a rich source of iron and protein. Sesame seeds are also healthy due to their nutritional content, including vitamins, minerals, natural oils, and organic compounds which consist of calcium, iron, magnesium, phosphorous, manganese, copper, zinc, fiber, thiamin, vitamin B6, folate, protein, and tryptophan.

There are also lots of sweet memories attached with this Til Chikki. When I was a kid my grandma would make Til Chikki in the form of ladoo during Makar Sankranti. But the most excited thing is, she would keep 50 paisa or 1 rupee coin inside the ladoo. So, I was always thrilled while eating ladoo and waiting for what’s I am getting? 50 paisa or 1 rupee!!! I also used to share these ladoos with my friends. I really missing those days now.

• 1 ½ cup Sesame Seeds (Til)
• 1 cup Grated Jaggery
• ¼ cup Broken Cashew

      I used chikki jaggery which is slightly lighter than regular one! or you can add 1-2 tsp sugar along with jaggery and increase cooking time little bit! thank you 🙂
