Normally, three types of tilkuts are available — the refined sugar tilkut is white in colour, the ''shakkar'' tilkut is made of unrefined sugar and is light brown in colour and the ''gur'' tilkut is made of jaggery and is dark brown in colour. Each of these varieties has its own flavour. The circular shaped savoury is called tilkut and the smaller nut-sized ones are called tillouri.

Winter is the period when sugarcane is harvested. It is also when large quantities of tilkut are made in many towns and even villages. However, as the demand persists throughout the year, smaller quantities are made round the year.
