Answer 3

Gajjak is usually made from til and sugar or til and jaggery. It is a bit brittle but delicate and almost like chikki sometimes if it is made hard. It is a very tasty sweet usually made in Maharashtra.. you can get it in some of the local shops or look for it at a Haldiram's oulet if they have one. Usually fresh gajjak is avaliable in the winters.. but they should have it year round. Enjoy !!
