This Makar Sankranti, try Juhi Parmar’s recipe for til ki barfi

Makar Sankranti, a Hindu harvest festival signifying the end of winter and the beginning of a new season, is celebrated with much fervour across the country. Among the many rituals associated with this day, sesame seeds are said to be closely associated with the festivities. Therefore, the festival is also known as Til Sankranti. As such, people devour various sweets made using sesame seeds or til.

Actor Juhi Parmar does something similar as she shared a video of her father preparing til ki barfi. “The season of kites and of delicious til ki mithai is here. For us at home, every year my Papa makes Til Ki Barfi and so this time rather than me doing the cooking, I’m going to show you how it’s done at the Parmar household as its papa who takes over the kitchen,” she captioned the post on Instagram.
