Makar Sankrant reminds me of the different colors, shapes and sizes of kites flying up high in sky and the sweet aroma of til-gud which is.. just everywhere...
But not everyone enjoy those hard-to-crack laddus. So for them we have some really soft and awesome til-gud laddus here...

Ingredients
- 3 cup white sesame(til)
- 1/2 cup groundnut
- 1/2 cup dried coconut(grated)
- 1 cup jaggery (softened)
- 5-6 pods of cardamom (choti elayachi)
Method
- Sesame now a days can be used directly but I love the way my granny does it.
- First we wash the sesame thoroughly, drain out the water, dry it in afternoon sun for 2 hrs then roast until all the moisture is gone...(just taste it now!!).
- You even can roast the sesame as it is without washing.
- Grind the sesame to make a coarse powder. It's ready!
- Now we roast groundnuts. While they are roasting we remove the cardamom from the pods.When groundnuts turn brown, take off the flame and let them cool down.
- Grind them along with cardamom. Keep it granular.
- Roast the grated coconut a bit, till it turns golden brown. This improves its flavor...
- Add the groundnut and coconut to the sesame powder. Mix it.
- Now add jaggery to it and mix it well.
- Make laddus of approx. 3 cm diameter.
Your mouth watering til-gud laddus are ready!!
"Til-gud ghya ana good good bola !!!" :)
