Sesame sweet (Gud aur Til ke ladoo)

 Til ke ladoo (Sesame sweet)

Ingredients:

1 cup White Sesame seeds (Til)

1 cup grated sticky soft jaggery

2-3 Tablespoon clarified butter (Ghee)

1/2 cup water

Recipe:

1. Roast the white sesame seeds on a heated pan till it starts making crackling noise and turns pale brown. If they get roasted too much they will turn dark brown. This means they are burnt. Turn off the gas when they start to turn brown immediately. Roasting is needed to remove moisture and also to make sesame crispy.

2. In the same pan add ghee, add the grated jaggery and roast till it melts. You have to keep stirring to avoid sticking it to the pan. After it melts now it has to be cooked to a specific consistency. This consistency decides whether the bar will be hard like a rock/ semihard/ soft. 

For this add water to the melted jaggery and start stirring for another 5 mins. Check the consistency by dropping jaggery in a bowl containing cold water. When the drop of jaggery stays intact as a ball in water it means the jaggery is cooked.Turn off the gas.

3. Add roasted sesame seeds. Mix well.

4. Let it cool till its bearable to skin at that point start making ladoos by rolling small portions of the mixin between palms. Or transfer the jaggery-sesame seeds mix to a plate and cut into small squares.

Let it cool and enjoy.
