Ingredients
200 Sesame Seeds
200 Jaggery
2 tsp Butter
1 tbsp Water
Instructions
1
In a heavy-bottomed pan, dry-roast the sesame seeds over low-medium heat until they turn aromatic and slightly golden. Remove from the pan and set aside to cool.
2
In the same pan, add the jaggery along with 1 tablespoon of water. Melt it over low heat, stirring continuously until it reaches a thick, syrupy consistency.
3
Add the roasted sesame seeds into the molten jaggery. Add a teaspoon of ghee for extra flavor and shine. Mix thoroughly to coat every seed evenly.
4
While the mixture is still warm, transfer it onto a greased surface. Press it down into a flat layer or shape it into small rounds or squares using your hands or a mold.
5
Allow the mixture to cool and rest for about 30 minutes until it hardens and sets perfectly. Once firm, break or cut into desired pieces and serve.
