Tilkut

Cultural Context

Tilkut is a traditional Indian sweet made primarily during the winter months, especially around the festival of Makar Sankranti. It is celebrated for its nutritional benefits, as sesame seeds are rich in calcium and healthy fats. The sweet is often shared among family and friends, symbolizing warmth and community during the colder season. Today, variations of Tilkut can be found across India, with different regions adding their unique twists to the classic recipe.
