Beawar - Its Famous Til-Patti

As I traveled from Udaipur to Jaipur,our Bus stopped for a while at Beawar Bus Station.There were some guys selling Beawar's famous Til-Patti.I bought a packet of it.When I reached home and opened it there were four very thin round shaped crests of Til-Patti,very white and very delicious.They are made out of sesame seeds and sugar. The sesame seeds are roasted and they are mixed with thick syrup to make dough and then pressed hard to make it so thin that you can hardly see any overlapping seeds, and then it appears as semi-transparent disk. People in Beawar considered to have their own style of making which have made 'Til-patti' as an appellation for 'Beawar ki Til-patti'.

According to a legend, British posted a sign saying "be aware" as a warning to the British caravans and officers leaving the cantonment or crossing the cantonment. Slowly with time the local people came to think of it as the name of the cantonment and so the cantonment began to be called Beawar. It is a sub-divisional headquarters.
