Malaika Arora shared a photo of chikki pieces on Instagram Stories. What’s more interesting? These delicacies are made at home, which makes them healthier. In her story, she wrote “#tilchikki #homemade”. Take a look at it here:
Til chikki is a crunchy snack made with sesame seeds and sugar. First, the sugar is cooked into a sticky syrup. Then, sesame is poured in and stirred well. After pouring the mixture into a flat pitcher, it cools and forms thin sheets of easy-to-eat juicy treats. Crispy and sweet, these delicacies can be enjoyed to satisfy a mid-meal craving. These are also good foods to satisfy your sweet tooth.
The nutty flavor and crunchy texture of sesame seeds often make them a good ingredient in a number of Indian dishes.
Sesame seeds are oily seeds that are rich in fiber, which can help improve digestive health. These nuts are also rich in protein, vitamins, minerals and antioxidants. They also contain lignans and phytosterols, which are plant compounds that help regulate cholesterol. The antioxidants in sesame seeds help fight infections. These oily seeds are also known to improve oral health. This is due to the antibacterial activity of sesame.
