Til Khoya Chakli | Sesame Brittle

Til Khoya Chakli is a winter sweet made during the Lohri in North. I was planning on making a burfi and kept procrastinating until the last moment. Then suddenly realised I might as well make a brittle after remembering my recent caramel making.

So it turned out to be Sesame Brittle. I love brittles and enjoy making with all nuts and seeds. We mostly buy sesame balls or chaklis. My version now turned out exactly the same as the secret is adding ghee to the syrup.

Today’s sweet is for the Festival Theme I am doing for Bm#72, for Lohri that’ss celebrated in North. Even in south we make dishes with Sesame Seeds during Sankranthi.
