How to make Til Gud Laddo
Preparation Steps
Dry roast the sesame seeds in a pan until they turn golden brown and release a nutty aroma.
In the same pan, dry roast the peanuts until they are slightly browned. Allow them to cool and then coarsely grind them.
In a saucepan, add water and jaggery. Heat it until the jaggery dissolves completely.
Once the jaggery syrup reaches a one-string consistency, remove it from the heat.
Add the roasted sesame seeds and ground peanuts to the jaggery syrup. Mix well until everything is combined.
Grease your hands with ghee and take small portions of the mixture to form round laddos.
Allow the laddos to cool completely before serving.

FAQS
How do I know when the jaggery syrup has reached one-string consistency for Til Gud Laddo?
To check if the jaggery syrup has reached one-string consistency, take a small amount of the syrup between your thumb and forefinger and gently pull them apart. If a single thread forms, the syrup is ready. This step is crucial for achieving the right texture in your Til Gud Laddo.
Can I make Til Gud Laddo vegan or gluten-free?
Yes, Til Gud Laddo is naturally gluten-free as it primarily uses sesame seeds and jaggery. To make it vegan, ensure that the ghee is replaced with a plant-based oil or simply omit it, as it is only used for greasing your hands. The laddos will still hold together well without it.
What are some good substitutions for peanuts in Til Gud Laddo?
If you want to substitute peanuts in your Til Gud Laddo, you can use other nuts like almonds or cashews, or even sunflower seeds for a nut-free version. Just make sure to roast them lightly before grinding to enhance their flavor.
How should I store Til Gud Laddo to keep it fresh?
To keep your Til Gud Laddo fresh, store them in an airtight container at room temperature. They can last for about 1-2 weeks. If you want to extend their shelf life, you can refrigerate them, but allow them to come to room temperature before serving for the best taste.
What are some great pairings for serving Til Gud Laddo during winter celebrations?
Til Gud Laddo pairs wonderfully with a warm cup of chai or milk, making it a perfect treat for winter celebrations. You can also serve it alongside other traditional sweets like Gulab Jamun or Kheer for a festive dessert platter.
