"Pahadi til" refers to sesame seeds that are grown in the hilly regions of India, particularly in the Himalayan foothills.

Pahadi til seeds are highly regarded for their purity and distinct flavor. They are often considered to have a slightly different taste compared to sesame seeds grown in other regions. These seeds are used in various culinary applications, including as a seasoning or garnish in dishes, for making sesame oil, and in the preparation of traditional sweets and snacks.
