Steps

30 minutes

1

First, sieve the sesame seeds. Then wash them and dry in sunlight on a clean cloth. This may take 3 to 4 days. You need to do this 1 week ahead.
2

An alternative way is to sieve the sesame seeds. Rub clean with a thick towel. Then slowly roast them in a thick kadhai for 20 to 25 minutes till they are crisp and the raw flavour has gone.
3

Then cool and powder them. Mix in jaggery and cardamom powder. Add the ghee too for smoothness.
4

Then grind everything together again till the mixture gathers together and you can bind it in laddus. Make laddus as per your preferred size. I like to make small ones, so I could make 20 to 25 pieces.
5

Offer to Sun God as per tradition and then distribute among family and friends saying as we say in Marathi,"Tilgul ghya, God God bola" meaning : Eat the tilgud sweet and let your speech be sweet as tilgud. Enjoy! 🎉🌾🌻 Happy Festival of Sankranti to all! 🌞🌞
