TIL VADI / SESAME SEEDS VADI (तिळाच्या वाड्या )

Til and gul (sesame seeds and jaggery) is used to make ladoos for Makar Sankranti....this is the beginning of the harvesting season in India. On this day til gul and halwa (sugar coated spiked balls) are distributed saying " Til gul ghya ani god god bola". Here these vadis are made with the same concept....the only difference being that til pdr is used instead of whole til seeds along with peanuts.

A little twist to the regular til and gul........
