Til Gud Ladoo is a delicious and mouthwatering ladoo made of til (white sesame seeds) and gud (jaggery); these delightful, warming, sweet ladoos are made especially during the festival of Makar Sankranti. This is a healthy laddoo recipe because instead of refined sugar, jaggery is used to make ladoos. Jaggery tastes good, imparts earthy flavour to the ladoos, and has more health benefits than refined sugar.This ladoo is a good source of essential nutrients such as calcium, iron, magnesium, phosphorus, and zinc. The natural sugars in jaggery and the healthy fats and protein in sesame seeds make Til Gud Laddoos a good choice for a quick energy snack. This is also good for digestion and is rich in calcium. Jaggery is used to make ladoos instead of refined sugar.

Instructions
- Wash and dry the sesame seeds on the kitchen towel. Let it dry completely.
- Heat pan or kadhai on a low flame and add sesame seeds. Roast on a low flame until the seeds change colour and start to pop. Transfer to a plate and keep aside.
- Add water in the same kadhai and add gud (jaggery). Mix and melt the jaggery and prepare jaggery syrup. Cook until it starts bubbling and reaches the soft ball stage.
- To check the perfect stage, take some water in a bowl. Drop a few drops of jaggery syrup in the water. When you remove it from the water, the consistency will be sticky, and you can roll it and form a soft ball.
- At this stage, turn off the flame and the roasted sesame seeds and quickly mix them.
- When the mixture is still hot, start rolling and shaping the ladoos. If the mixture is hot, apply water on your palms and make the ladoos.
- Store them in an airtight container at room temperature.
- Serve and enjoy ladoos with your loved ones!
