Til Gud Roti
Til Gud Roti is a special sweet we make during a festival called Makar Sankranti or anytime you would like to eat it. To make it, we add sesame seeds (til) and jaggery (gud) to the dough. The sesame seeds give a nutty taste and a nice crunch, while the jaggery makes it a bit sweet. It's not just yummy; it's also a symbol of good things coming our way.
