Makar Sankranti means tilgul. That sesame and jaggery combination shows up everywhere during the festival - in sweets, in conversations, in the traditional phrase "tilgul ghya, god god bola" (take tilgul, speak sweetly). NIC Ice Creams took this festival staple and turned it into ice cream. Their Tilgul with Revdi Ice Cream brings those same flavors but in frozen form, giving you a new way to celebrate while staying connected to tradition. 

The Cultural Significance of Tilgul in Makar Sankranti

Makar Sankranti celebrates the sun's transition and the arrival of longer days. Tilgul plays a central role in this celebration, especially in Maharashtra and Gujarat. People exchange tilgul sweets with family and neighbors, symbolizing the end of old conflicts and encouraging sweet words going forward.

Sesame seeds and jaggery aren't random choices. Sesame provides warmth during winter months, while jaggery offers its signature caramel-like sweetness and energy. The combination has been part of winter celebrations for generations. Revdi, those crunchy sesame brittle candies, adds texture to the traditional tilgul experience. This cultural connection makes tilgul more than just a sweet. It's tied to specific memories, family traditions, and the feeling of celebration that comes with Makar Sankranti.

How NIC Ice Creams Brings Tradition into a Modern Dessert

Taking tilgul and making it work as ice cream requires understanding what makes the original special. The nutty taste of roasted sesame seeds, the caramel-like sweetness of jaggery, the crunch of revdi - all of these elements need to translate into frozen form.

NIC's Tilgul with Revdi ice cream keeps these components intact. The sesame flavor comes through clearly without being overwhelming. Jaggery provides that distinctive sweetness that's different from regular sugar. Actual revdi pieces give you the crunch and texture you'd expect from the traditional sweet.

This isn't about replacing traditional tilgul. It's about offering another way to enjoy those same flavors during the festival, especially after meals when you want something cooling.

What Makes Tilgul Revdi Ice Cream So Unique?

Tilgul with Revdi ice cream stands out because it's genuinely festival-specific. This isn't a year-round flavor trying to be everything to everyone. It's seasonal, tied to Makar Sankranti, and meant for people who want traditional festival tastes in a different format.
Having sesame as the main flavor makes this distinct. The sesame seeds bring a nutty, roasted flavour to it. The jaggery sweetness adds depth and that slightly molasses-like taste jaggery is known for.

Those revdi pieces throughout provide a serious crunch. They stay crispy even when frozen, giving you textural variety in every spoonful. This combination of creamy base, sesame flavor, jaggery sweetness, and crunchy revdi makes each bite interesting.

A Perfect Dessert for Makar Sankranti Celebrations

Makar Sankranti meals tend to run heavy. Traditional foods are filling and rich, which is perfect for winter. But by dessert time, many people want something lighter than another piece of tilgul laddoo or chikki.

Ice cream fits that need. Tilgul with Revdi ice cream gives you the festival flavors everyone expects without the heaviness. You're still honoring tradition and eating tilgul during Makar Sankranti - just in a form that's easier to enjoy after a full meal.

It works well for gatherings too. Kids who might not love traditional tilgul sweets often enjoy this ice cream version. Adults appreciate having options beyond the standard festival desserts. Serving it shows you're thinking about tradition while also considering what guests actually want to eat.
