By Aanchal Mathur

From til ka ladoo, peanut chikki to sweet rewari and gur ka halwa, all of it comes to the fore during the festive season of Makar Sankranti. 

Til Ladoo

Til (or white sesame) and jaggery are very integral part of Sankranti delicacies, as they are known to keep your body warm and fortified. 

Gokul Pithe

Stuffed with sweet filling of coconut and jaggery, and soaked in sweet syrup, these Bengali sweet fried dumplings are sure to impress. 

Peanut Chikki

A flat brittle snack made with molten jaggery and peanuts, chikki is a staple during winters. You can add more ingredients to the mix to make it chunkier. 

Gur Aur Aate Ka Halwa

This soft and fudgy treat is perhaps one of the easiest recipes. Traditionally made with flour, jaggery, and a generous amount of crunchy nuts and ghee, this halwa is irresistible.

Patishapta

These thin crepes made with refined flour, rice flour and semolina stuffed with a delicious coconut filling has our heart.
