1.Til ke ladoo
Festival of Makar Sankranti is incomplete without having Till laddoo. These bite-sized ladoos made with sesame seeds and jaggery are a treat to the soul.

In addition to being lip-smackingly amazing, they help keep the body warm too. The presence of jaggery in peanut chikki makes it rich in antioxidants and many polyphenols that helps in preventing dementia.
4.Khichdi
Makar Sankranti is a special harvest festival of the North and is celebrated by preparing several types of dishes.

It is often teamed with fried veggies and chutney for a wholesome meal.
5.Pinni
Pinni is one indulgent winter treat from Punjab, which is prepared widely during Lohri and Sankranti celebrations. It is made using flour, milk, loads of nuts and oodles of desi ghee. This sweetmeat is so densely packed with ghee and nuts that it is also traditionally known to offer protection from various winter-related ailments.
