In this very festive season, we are going to share a sweet recipe made of jaggery and sesame seed which is known as Tiler Naru in Bengali and in other languages it is called as Til ke laddu or sesame seed laddu. It is a traditional sweet made on the festive occasion of Makar Sankranti. A simple yet delicious sweet snack.

Preparation Time: 5 minutes

Cooking Time: 15 minutes

Yield: 10-15 laddu’s

  • Sesame seeds/ til ~ 50 gm
  • Jaggery/ Gur ~ 100 gm
  • Peanuts ~ ¼ cup
  • Cardamom Powder ~ ¼ tsp
  • Water ~ 3 tbsp
  • Ghee ~ 1 tsp and some for greasing the plate and hands. 

How to Prepare:

  • In a pan dry roast sesame seeds till light golden in colour on a low flame. Keep stirring at intervals.Remove and set aside. 
  • In the same pan, dry roast the peanuts on a low flame till they get black spots on them. Remove and crush them coarsely using a grinder or mortar-pestle.
