For the til papdi

To make til papdi chikki Makar Sankranti recipe | til chikki with sugar | til patti | til papdi with sugar, we need sesame seeds also called as til. You need to use the umpolished variety of sesame seeds also called as til for chikki. Whether purchasing sesame seeds in bulk or in a packaged container, make sure there is no evidence of moisture. Additionally, since they have high oil content and can become rancid, smell those in bulk bins to ensure that they smell fresh. Also, the seeds should be free from dust, stones or ant debris.
Heat a broad non-stick pan and add the sesame seeds to it. You can also use an aluminium kadhai if you have.
Dry roast them on a slow flame for 2 minutes. This is to get rid of its raw smell.
Transfer the sesame seeds on a plate, spread them well and cool completely.

Next to make til chikki with sugar, put the sugar in the same broad non-stick pan.
Keep stirring it continuously. Once it starts melting, tilt the pan till the sugar melts completely. It takes approximately 4 minutes for the sugar to melt completely.
Add the sesame seeds to it.
Also add some almond slivers. These are optional. You can avoid it if you wish to.
Add cardamom powder for flavour. If you don’t have cardamom powder, you can grind the cardamom seeds in a mixer or make apowder using the traditional mortar-pestle (khalbhatta).

Mix well using a big spoon and cook on a medium flame for 1 minute, while stirring continuously. You will realise that the sesame seeds and sugar blend completely to form one big lump of mixture.
Immediately put the mixture on a greased rolling board or a smooth platform and wait for a few seconds. This wait time for it to cool slightly so you can easily handle the heat while rolling. But ensure you do not wait far too long, else rolling would be difficult.
Then roll til patti into a 250 mm. (10”) diameter circle using a greased rolling pin till it is really thin. Prefer a thick rolling pin as it helps to give uniform pressure while rolling. If you find it difficult to roll then keep greasing the rolling pin. The chikki should also not stick to the board or platform. If it sticks, loosen it using a flat ladle, and roll again.
Cool it till it is firm.
Lift it carefully using a flat steel spatula and cool again completely.

Then roughly break it into pieces preferably with your hand. This chikki is made with sugar syrup and thus breaking into uniform pieces is difficult. You may get different shapes of pieces.
Serve til papdi with sugar or store in an air-tight container in a cool dry place. It stays fresh for a month.
