The Best Gujrati Tilgajak : how you can shop for Indore Gajak Online
The modern history of India is not very sweet, but sweets have always been a part of its history and rich culture. In fact, researchers suggest that sweets have been part of India’s traditional history since 2500 years. Our ancestors from the Indus Valley civilization used refined sugar back in 6000 BCE for the first time, and today sweets, also called Mithai, are one of the hottest things in our culture. The diversity in sweets is somewhat similar to diversity in our heritage, culture and language, as we have over 100 different varieties of sweets made with flour, milk, milk products, fermented foods, vegetables, raw and roasted seeds, dry fruits etc.

- Take jaggery and cut it into pieces. Put them in a kadhai, pour water in it and stir it in a high flame till it becomes a thick solution and changes its color. You have to ensure that while you prepare the gud solution, put a few drops of it in cold water and see if it turns into a ball or simply breaks.
- Now, take a plate and apply ghee all over it; pour the thick gud solution and mash it properly with your hands. While doing this process, we have to make sure that the solution remains hot and that we have some ghee applied on our palms to avoid stickiness, we need to tweak the gud till it becomes semi-white in texture.
- Now, take the roasted sesame seeds into a pan and stir it at low flame for a couple of minutes; put the seeds on a plate and mix them with gud properly.
