Makar Sankranti will be celebrated on January 14, 2025, and you should get all the grocery shopping done before the festival. Marking the end of winter solstice, the day brings communities, families, and friends together. Here are a few dishes that must be on the festive spread.
Made with puffed rice, murmure ladoo is usually the centre of attraction on the festive spread. They are nutritious, delicious, and fun to indulge in.
Sesame seeds are also integral to Makar Sankranti dishes. People use various mixtures to prepare tikkis and coat them with sesame seeds.
If you coat regular popcorn with melted jaggery, you can make caramelised popcorn without having to pay higher GST on the snack.
Til and gur (sesame seeds and jaggery) are combined in a saucepan to prepare a mixture that is later shaped into lemon-sized ladoos.
Makar Sankranti without sarson ka saag seems incomplete. Prepare this deadly combination to enjoy with friends and family.
Peanut chikki is also a hit on Makar Sankranti. Combine roasted peanuts and jaggery to prepare a delightful blend.
Rice kheer is a must-have part of the spread during Makar Sankranti. Grains are cooked in sweetened milk and garnished with saffron and dry fruits.
