KATHMANDU, Jan 11: As the Maghe Sankranti festival approaches, the traders in Tokha, the northern region of Kathmandu, are busy making Chaku (a sweet made from hardened molasses). The molasses is cooked down until it is a solid form, and then pulled on a hook in a manner similar to making taffy and then cut into small rolls.
