Having an extended family from Assam made my childhood awesome. Come Bihu and the yummy delights would fill my lunch boxes. The crispy til or sesame seeds laddoos are my favourite. Bihu is just round the corner and staying in Mumbai away from my paternal home I am craving for all the sweet treats. As I cannot miss out on all of them, I got my aunt to share her recipe with me this Bihu. It s prepared with sesame seeds and can be a great option for an evening snack. So, this recipe is totally worth a try.
