Til is a Sankranti staple
The nation is drenched in the festive spirit, and why not? After the roller-coaster of a year, we finally made it to the new one, and our very first set of festivals is right around the corner. Punjab is celebrating Lohri today, the day after we'll find an excuse to indulge again on the occasion of Makar Sankranti and Pongal. Makar Sankranti is one of our biggest festivals of all times. Sesame and jaggery play a very significant role in the celebrations, as they are seasonal and also incredible for our bodies. This Til Atta ladoo is possibly one of the quickest and easiest recipes you can try your hands at and enjoy the festival to the fullest.
