Sesame seeds or til are known to be an excellent source of protein, which helps increase your metabolic rate and curbs hunger, thereby avoiding excessive calorie consumption and aiding weight management.
Ingredients
- 250 grams Sesame seeds (Til seeds)
- 250 grams Jaggery
- ½ cup Desiccated Coconut (optional)
- ½ cup Roasted Peanuts (Moongphali), crushed
- 1 tsp Cardamom Powder (Elaichi)
- 2 tbsp Ghee
Instructions
- We begin making the Til Ke Laddu Recipe (Sesame Seeds Laddu) recipe by heating a flat nonstick Kadai. Keep it in a medium heat, add the sesame seeds and dry roast them till it changes color. Remove and keep it aside.
- Then add the peanuts and dry roast them till it is brown. Remove from the flame and let it cool down, and ground it into a coarse mixture using mortar pestle.
- In the same pan, dry roast the desiccated coconut till it is golden brown and keep it aside. (Adding coconut is optional)
- Mix all the 3 ingredients together along with cardamom powder and keep it aside.
- Next to prepare the jaggery syrup, heat the kadai and add the powdered jaggery with 1/2 cup water and keep stirring till all the lumps is mixed well.
- Keep stirring till it boils and reaches a soft boil stage. Which means when you add a drop of jaggery syrup on the table it has to stay in the shape of a drop and not spread. You can also check by add the the drops of jaggery into a bowl containing water, once you remove the jaggery out it should be sticky and have the soft ball shape.
- At this point turn of the flame, add the dry roasted mixture carefully and mix well. Take the pan away from the heat and keep it on the kitchen slab.
- You can wait for few minutes or when it is hot only, apply some ghee on to your palm and start making small balls and keep it on a plate to hold its shape.
