Ingredients
225 g Sesame Seeds
220 g Jaggery
4 tsp Clarified Butter (Ghee)
2 tsp Cardamom Powder
1 tbsp Milk
Instructions
1
Roast the sesame seeds in a pan over low heat for 4 to 5 minutes until they release a toasted aroma and change color. Set aside to cool.
2
In a heavy-bottomed pan, heat the ghee over low flame.
3
Add the crumbled jaggery to the pan and allow it to melt slowly on low heat.
4
Once melted, stir in the milk to ensure the chikki remains soft and easy to bite.
5
When the jaggery begins to bubble, stir in the roasted sesame seeds and cardamom powder. Mix thoroughly until all seeds are well-coated.
6
Remove from heat and transfer the mixture onto a tray lined with baking parchment.
7
Use a flat-bottomed bowl to press and level the surface evenly.
8
Immediately cut the flattened mixture into squares or diamonds while still warm, as it will harden quickly.
9
Allow the pieces to cool completely until they set and harden, then break them apart to serve.
