About Our Products

What is Gajak?

Gajak is a traditional Indian sweet made from sesame seeds (til), jaggery (gur) and cow ghee. It is prepared by slow-cooking sesame and jaggery together, then hammering the mixture by hand for 10–15 hours to release natural oils and create a crisp, flaky texture. Gajak is produced predominantly in Rajasthan and is closely associated with Makar Sankranti, the winter harvest festival celebrated in January across India.

What is Tilkut?

Tilkut is a sesame sweet made from hulled white sesame seeds and jaggery or sugar. Unlike Gajak which is pressed into slabs or biscuits, Tilkut is made by repeatedly pounding and folding the sesame-jaggery mixture into a soft, granular texture. Sahu Gajak Bhandar's Tilkut uses hulled sesame seeds and includes clove as a differentiating ingredient, giving it a distinctive flavour compared to the Gaya-style Tilkut.

Are your products preservative-free?

Yes. All products from Sahu Gajak Bhandar are free from preservatives, liquid glucose, artificial colours and artificial flavours. Our sweets use only sesame seeds, jaggery, sugar, cow ghee and spices such as cardamom and clove.

Are your products vegetarian?

Yes. All products are 100% vegetarian. We use cow ghee. Our products are not vegan.

What is the shelf life of your products?

Shelf life varies by product: 180 days for Gajak Biscuit, Gajak Roll, Gajak Patti, Sugar Gajak and Tilkut; 120 days for Gajak Barfi and Cham Cham Gajak Sweets; 90 days for Til Ladoo. Store in a cool, dry place in an airtight container for best results.

What is the difference between Gajak and Chikki?

Both are traditional Indian sweets made with jaggery, but the key difference is the base ingredient. Gajak is sesame-based (til) and uses a specific hammering technique. Chikki is primarily peanut-based (mungfali) and is made by mixing roasted peanuts with melted jaggery, then pressing into flat slabs. Gajak is crispier and more layered; Chikki is denser and nuttier.

What is Revdi (also spelled Rewari or Rewdi)?

Revdi is a small, round sesame sweet made by coating sesame seeds with a hardened jaggery or sugar syrup shell. Also called Rewari or Rewdi, it is a traditional winter sweet eaten during Makar Sankranti and Lohri. Sahu Gajak Bhandar offers both Jaggery Revdi and Sugar Revdi in multiple pack sizes.
