Til Peanut Sukhadi Lohri Special Til And Gur Patti Ruchiskitchen

It is a heavenly, flavorful, delightfully textured, and irresistible winter delicacy!

This protein-packed delicacy is made with 8 basic ingredients blended meticulously with jaggery and flavored with cardamom powder. Together it creates an immunity-boosting sweet treat for the winters that keeps the heat and energy levels up when they are direly needed in the chilling cold. Gajak or patti means confection or dessert in Hindi. Together it means a jaggery-based confection made with sesame seeds. A subtle flavoring of cardamom powder does the magic, and the final result is a delicious Til Gajak worth relishing in every bite! Traditionally sukhadi is prepared with wheat flour, but to create a gluten-free version, I have replaced wheat flour with roasted and crushed sesame seeds and peanut flour. This traditional winter sweet is loved by young and old alike as it is delicious to the core and delivers various health benefits.

The best is that you can also try different variations of this Til Gur Chikki by adding different flavorings or dry fruits of your choice.

Peanuts — Peanuts are the other major element of this delicious snack sweet. It is also packed with vitamins and minerals that support health during cold winter. Ghee — Homemade ghee is added to this recipe of Til Sukhadi for flavor and texture. It helps in proper binding and provides moisture to the mixture. Milk Powder — This is added to the mixture for the richness of flavor. Cardamom powder — Elaichi powder lends a delicious flavoring to the recipe. Pistachios — For garnishing. Oh, they add to the nutrition as well! Replacement for white Sesame seeds — This peanut Sukhadi recipe is best prepared with white sesame seeds, but if it is unavailable, you can surely use brown or black seeds. However, you have to settle for a change in appearance and taste. Roasting sesame seeds is an essential step — Roasting brings an enriched flavor and crunch to the sesame seeds and peanuts; therefore, it is essential to roast them before pulsing. Roasting also enhances the nutty flavor of the sesame seeds and peanuts, which takes the recipe to another level.

Use raw, unsalted peanuts — This til peanut Sukhadi recipe makes best with raw and unsalted husked peanuts. If they are not husked, roast them first and remove the skin by gently rubbing them between your palms. Now, they are ready to use. But if you already have husked peanuts, roast them lightly till they become slightly crunchy, and then use them for the recipe. Roast the coconut till fragrant — Roasting the desiccated coconut for about 1 to 2 minutes will make it more aromatic and crunchier, making the ladoos more delectable. However, be careful while roasting as it can burn quickly and get spoilt. Replacing jaggery powder — This recipe uses jaggery powder as the sweetening agent. However, you can replace jaggery powder with jaggery chunks. When using jaggery chunks, make sure to break the chunks into small pieces to facilitate the measuring and mixing. Don’t overcook the jaggery — This til peanut Sukhadi recipe requires boiling the jaggery without overcooking it. Overcooking will make the jaggery hard and turn the Sukhadi chewy. We are not even looking for the softball stage; just bring the jaggery, ghee, and water mix to a boil, and you are done!

Flavoring with Nutmeg — This recipe is flavored with cardamom powder, but if you like, you can add a pinch of nutmeg powder to your Til Gajak mixture for an enticing flavor. Transforming into a vegan version — You can easily make this recipe vegan by replacing ghee with coconut oil and regular milk powder with cashew powder. For flavorsome Sukhadi — To lend a more flavorful and crunchier punch to this sesame seeds gajak, feel free to add nuts like cashews, almonds, or even raisins to the Sukhadi mixture. Grinding the dry ingredients to perfection — You can use a food processor or a high-speed blender to pulse the ingredients. However, make sure to pulse the sesame seeds and peanuts separately for this recipe. Scale up the recipe — You can conveniently double or triple this delicious snack recipe according to your needs. You can make this Til Gur Sukhadi recipe in batches if you plan to scale up the recipe.
