Til Chikki

Til Chikki

Ingredients:

• Sesame seeds 1/2 cup
• Jaggery 1/3 cup
• Ghee 1 tsp
• Ghee (for greasing) 1/2 tsp

Method:

• Roast the sesame seeds till they are light golden in color. Allow them to cool. Heat ghee in a pan, stir in the crushed jaggery to the ghee and allow the jaggery to melt. Turn the heat to low and continue stirring until it the jaggery caramelizes. When you drop a small amount into cold water it should form a hard ball. Turn off the heat and immediately stir in the roasted sesame seeds until well combined with the melted jaggery. While the mixture is hot quickly spread the mixture onto a 8x8 inch greased pan and smooth the surface with a flat spatula. Allow the mixture to cool completely allowing it to set. When completely cool, cut the Til Chikki into desired shapes.
