On the eve of Makar Sankranti, Bhagyashree took to her social media to share a wonderful recipe with her fans. The actor shared how to prepare Tilgul, a Makar Sankranti staple. She showed her fans how to make this delicious sesame-coated candy and also shared some of her hacks.
Sharing the tilgul recipe on her Instagram, Bhagyashree wrote, “Tilgul ghya aani god god bola! New beginnings also mean looking after your health better than yesterday. It’s never too late to start. Til is known to be a superfood, especially eaten during winter. It has nutritional qualities to regulate blood pressure, improve bone and gut health & support immunity.”
She started the recipe by roasting the seeds in an iron kadhai. As the seeds cooled down, she added a tablespoon of ghee and 3-4 tablespoons of jaggery into a separate pan. Inspired by the actor, here is how you can make tilgul at home.
Ingredients
- 1 cup white sesame seeds
- ¾ cup jaggery
- ¼ teaspoon cardamom powder (optional)
- 2 teaspoon ghee plus a little to grease the palm
Process
- 1. Heat a heavy bottom pan and add the sesame seeds to it. Roast the seeds for a few minutes on low flame.
- 2. Remove the roasted sesame seed on a plate and add ghee and jaggery to the pan.
- 3. Let the jaggery bubble up, and cook it for 2 minutes until it forms a soft ball stage.
- 4. Reduce the flame to low and add the roasted sesame seeds to the pan. Mix well and remove from the flame.
- 5. Once the mix is cooled down, grease your palm with ghee and start making small balls.
- 6. Store the laddoo in an airtight container.
