Ellu unda (Til che ladoo)

 

 

 Til laddu is a delightfully rich dessert with earthy sesame seeds and buttery rich jaggery. This quick recipe uses grated jiggery and easy steps to achieve the authentic flavours of Maharashtra “Tila che ladoo”.This ladoo is made differently in Kerala with sugar syrup which is time consuming process

In Maharashtra, where I grew up, Til Laddu or Til Gul is made  to share with family and friends for days leading with the Makar Sankrant Day. I have grown up eating these ladoo which our neighbour Shejole aunty taught mom.  Neighbours are our extended family where everything is shared especially in suburbs of Mumbai 

This is a very easy recipe with very few ingredients.
