Whether we are making yogurt, paneer or dessert, we all have to boil milk at one point or another. Here are a couple of helpful tips to reduce the amount of milk that sticks to the pot and prevent it from boiling over. Enjoy this week’s Tip Tuesday video.

Hi Ladies I like your work and have tried many of your recipies out. But the problem is your video which freezes every 5 sec before rolling again.
could you see to it that the video comes out uninterrupted?

For anyone celebrating Makar Sankranti tomorrow, January 14th and want to make Til Gul Ladoos…here is a recipe that works well for me:
1 cup sesame seeds
3/4 cup gud
1 tbsp ghee
1/2 cup roasted peanuts
a pinch of cardamon powder
In a pan, add ghee and gud until gud becomes liquidy and bubbles a little bit. Add cardamon pwdr, peanuts and sesame seeds to the liquid gud. Mix very well and transfer the mix onto another pan or dish because the mix is super hot. Moving quickly, make small balls with greased (with ghee) palms of your hands. Set aside and cool.
For those who want to make it in a tray like chikki, you can add little bit of water to the gud once the gud become liquidy. This will help in forming a nice shape in your tray.
I hope this helps. Last year at this time, I was going crazy looking for recipes for this online.
What a coincidence! My mom just brought over some til sankari for me. I asked her how she made it and she told me the exact same ingredients and method as you mentioned. She didn’t add peanuts though. We’ll try to make a video of this recipe so others can benefit.
Thanks!
great job pinal ! this helped me for sure ! you know what this kind of recipes I know I can always ask my friends or familys but it’s hard to get it with exact measurment. the way you have given is the best for us so we can follow easily..
thank you very much..that was very thoughtfull of you !
have a happy makarsankranti to all of you !
Actually this year was going to be my first year adding peanuts to the ladoos because my mother-in-law and many others do it.
I’ve always had them plain because that’s how my mom would always made them. So to answer your question, no you don’t need to add more sesame seeds unless you want to increase the quantity. Remember, that will than increase your gud also. I hope this helps.

Hi Dharuvi,
We make our paneer at home for the most part. If we’re in a big rush, we buy it
. Here is a video if you want to try it:

Hi Hetal,
I hope you guys do a video of this. It will help a lot of newbies like me.
Oh and I big thing I forgot to mention is that the sesame seeds should be toasted first before adding to gud.
Thanks.
