Kumbh memories with til gud ladoo

Wish all the readers of Asan Khana Happy Vasant Panchmi,
during our childhood days we used to accompany our Dadi for the sacred bath also known as nahan to Sangam on the  auspicious days during Kumbh Mela, now when i see sites like this i am filled with mixed reactions,i remember we used to have guests every year during winters for the Kumbh Snan,it was fun camping in tents riverside,playing in sands,having tea at midnight,watching ramlila,krishna lila and so many other activities.Now the simple tents are replaced by luxurious tents with all kind of facilities,i mean so fast things change,i guess some years ahead when i go to Sangam for camping ,i gonna be both shocked and sad ,shocked because what memories i have of the place they would be changed and sad because everything would be commercialised to attract tourists.Have a look at the facilities and you guys will know what i am talking about.

Coming back to today's post i gonna share recipe of Til ladoo prepared by my mother in law
