Ingredients
225 g Sesame Seeds
220 g Jaggery
4 tsp Clarified Butter (Ghee)
1 tbsp Milk
4 Cardamom Seeds
Instructions
1
Roast the sesame seeds in a pan on low heat for 4–5 minutes until fragrant and slightly changed in color. Set aside to cool.
2
In a heavy-bottomed pan, melt the ghee over low heat.
3
Add the crumbled jaggery to the pan and allow it to melt slowly. Do not let the jaggery boil.
4
Stir in the milk once the jaggery has melted; this helps keep the final texture soft.
5
Add the roasted sesame seeds and powdered cardamom to the pan. Mix thoroughly until every seed is well-coated with the jaggery mixture.
6
Immediately turn off the heat and transfer the mixture onto a tray lined with baking parchment.
7
Use a flat-bottomed bowl or cup to press and level the surface evenly.
8
Cut the flattened mixture into square or diamond shapes immediately before it cools and hardens.
9
Allow the pieces to cool completely before separating. Store in an airtight container.
