Tilya (तिल्य) refers to a type of sesame according to Aṣṭādhyāyi V.2.4, and is commonly found in literature dealing with the topics of dietetics and culinary art, also known as Pākaśāstra or Pākakalā.—Pāṇini derives two words tilya and tailīna to signify one who uses sesame in his diet and the sesame store house respectively from the word tila.

General definition (in Hinduism)

Source: archive.org: Vedic index of Names and Subjects

Tilya (तिल्य) refers to “made of sesamum”.—Tirya occurs in the Atharvaveda as an epithet of Karambha, ‘gruel’. It is probably equivalent to tilya, ‘made of sesamum,’ as rendered by Roth and Whitney, but tiriya is read by Roth in the Raja-nighaṇṭu as kind of rice.
