Gur aur Til Ki Roti is a sweet flatbread very similar to Puran Poli that’s made across the many Indian States. This flatbread is made during Sankranthi with the harvest fresh Til and new jaggery.
I had this planned for festival dishes during Sankranthi, then changed it when I realized I had to an A to Z International Flatbreads. Since I was twisting the subthemes with a single category, I had to bring in my own twists. So I picked up 6 different Indian Flatbreads that are sweet for the Indian Sweets category.
This Gur aur Til ki Roti is popular in states like Andhra, Karnataka, and Maharashtra. I chose to make the Maharashtrian name. The filling is very simple with just jaggery and sesame mixed in. I used the regular dough that I use for Poli. It turned out so good and delicious.
G was quite a nut to crack as the other g as in Gulachi Poli I have already done. So Gur aur til Ki Roti was my choice in A to Z International Flatbreads. If you want to know what my G in Street Food is, please check as it was one of the most delicious dishes I have made!

For the Stuffing
Grate the jaggery.
Toast the sesame seeds in a hot pan, add this to the grated jaggery.

Making the Roti
When you are ready to roll out, knead the dough again and pinch out balls.
On a greased plastic sheet, take one ball of dough, flatten it and place the one sesame jaggery laddoo and cover all over.

Heat a tawa and when it is hot, transfer this disc and cook on both sides with ghee.
Take care not to press too much as jaggery will start oozing out.

Gur til ki roti is a delicious roti and tastes heavenly . I have two versions of this gur roti and now I see this one which is yet different from the ones I know . Use of turmeric is new to me , though I like it’s yellow colour . The roti looks loaded with jaggery and sesame seeds ! Excellent pick !

That is a simple and delicious looking sweet roti Valli. Love that filling with sesame seeds and jaggery. Sesame seeds must have added nice nuttiness to the Roti. Will have to try this some time.
