Although white and black sesame seeds are available in the market, the black one has a more rustic flavour and stronger aroma.
It is just right for traditional recipes like this Tilkut or Maharashtrian Black Sesame Seed Chutney. Although the black sesame is the focus of this recipe, other ingredients like red chillies, coconut, coriander seeds, etc., do a very able job is helping the black sesame to shine without overwhelming the diner.
So, stick to this blend of ingredients and proportions to get the ideal Tilkut. In Maharashtrian families, this chutney is usually served as an accompaniment with rice flour bhakri. You can also enjoy it with other Indian breads, idli , dosa , etc.
Try other Maharashtrian accompaniments like Red Chilli Thecha or Dry Garlic Chutney .
