Makar Sankranti will be celebrated on January 15. The festival, among many other traditions and rituals, is known for the popular, sweet and crunchy Til Gud Laddu. While nothing beats the authentic ones, this particular sweet dish too has undergone various variations that equally taste delicious.
If you are ready to kickstart the preparations for the festival and are going to try making the laddus for the first time, we have experienced homemakers as well as chefs sharing the recipes, with some having innovative twists.
For Mumbai resident Nilima Ketan Londhe, a 60-year-old homemaker and part-time sewing professional, a large part of celebrating Makar Sankranti is making the delicious ‘til gud laddu’ and ‘gud poli’. She offers prepared delicacies to Sankrati Devi after offering prayers.
“I have been making til laddu for the past 35 years. All my family members love to binge eat the laddus I make especially when they are freshly prepared.” Sharing the relevance of the festival she says, “On this day, demon Shankasur was killed by goddess Jagdamba. This is why she is called Sankranti Devi. The goddess is known to take a different ride each year to travel to different places on the day of the festival. This is a belief among many.”
