Til Lai
Til lai is sesame in sheet form: toasted til spread thin in a jaggery and sugar base, set hard, and broken into slabs that crunch like a biscuit and taste like winter. Where a ladoo is soft and round, a lai is flat and unapologetically crisp. It is the piece people reach for when they want the til flavour with a real snap to it. At WD Foods, til lai is Rs 500 for 500g and Rs 1,000 for 1kg, checked on 30 October 2026.
Thin is the whole skill
Anyone can mix sesame into syrup. The craft in a lai is the spreading: the hot mixture has to be rolled or pressed out thin and even in the short window before it sets. Too thick and it eats like a brick. Uneven and half the slab is burnt-tasting while the rest is raw. A well made lai is the same golden colour edge to edge, with seed showing through the whole sheet rather than floating on top of a sugar slab.
Where it fits
Lai travels better than almost any sweet we sell. It does not melt, it does not crumble into dust, and a slab wrapped and tucked into a bag survives a bus journey across Balochistan without complaint. That is why it goes into student hostel parcels and the luggage of anyone leaving Quetta for work. And the honest note, as with everything in this family: it is a sweet. Sesame is nourishing, the base is sugar and gur, and a slab section with tea is a portion, not a plateful.

Keeping it crisp
Moisture is the only enemy. Lai slabs left in a humid kitchen soften and then stick together into one accusing lump. Keep the pack airtight and dry, and it stays crisp for weeks. If you are buying ahead for the season, the kilo pack is the sensible one, as long as the jar you put it in seals properly. Its softer cousins, til ladoo and tikon lai, are in the same sweet snacks collection, and the whole shelf is priced in our dry fruits price list.
Questions I hear most
What is the difference between til lai and til ladoo? Shape and texture. Ladoo is a soft ball bound with jaggery. Lai is the same family of flavours spread into a thin, hard sheet, so it crunches instead of giving.
How long does til lai stay fresh? Several weeks in an airtight pack kept dry. Once it softens from humidity it will not fully crisp again, so store it away from steam from the start.
