Happy Sankranti to you all ! I don't know how to make Til Ke Ladoo which are made specially on Sankranti but I knew something that uses Jaggery as ingredient and made that combination- Puran Poli and Kheer.
My kheer is very popular in my friends circle and that's the only sweet I can make confidentally. When I invite people for dinner, they know that the dessert is going to be either my famous kheer ( hehehehe..) or something store bought !!
This serves about 8 people:
Soak about two handfuls of basmati rice in a bowl and keep aside. In a big heavy-base pan, add a little ghee ( about 1tbsp). when it starts melting add 2-3tbsp of chopped cashews, a handful of makhanas ( optional)almonds or any other dry fruits you like. when the cashews turn pink, add the milk and let it come to boil. Keep stirring to make sure the milk doesn't burn at the bottom.
Drain the rice and crush the rice a little with your hands amd put it in the boiling milk. add a tbsp raisins and a few strands of saffron. Keep boiling it untill the rice is all cooked and soft. Now add about a cup of sugar ( more or less as per your taste) and 1/2 tsp cardomom(elaichi) pdr. boil till it reaches 3/4th volume of the original and it gets a nice creamy colour.
It being Sankranti today, I served it with hot Puran-Polis !
