Ingredients
- 1 cup White sesame seeds
- 3/4 cup Jaggery
- 1 tablespoon Ghee
- 1/2 teaspoon Cardamom powder
- 2 tablespoons Water
Directions
Step 1
Start by dry roasting the sesame seeds in a heavy-bottomed pan over medium heat. Stir continuously to ensure even roasting, and roast until the seeds are golden brown and start to pop a little. This should take around 3-5 minutes. Be careful not to burn them. Transfer the roasted sesame seeds to a plate and let them cool completely.
Step 2
In the same pan, add ghee and jaggery. Turn the heat to low and stir continuously until the jaggery melts completely and begins to bubble. This should take about 5-7 minutes. Add the water while stirring to help prevent the jaggery from burning.
Step 3
Once the jaggery is melted and bubbling, add the cardamom powder and mix well.
Step 4
Quickly add the roasted sesame seeds to the melted jaggery mixture. Stir everything together until the sesame seeds are evenly coated with the jaggery syrup. This should be done swiftly as the mixture tends to harden quickly.
Step 5
Turn off the heat and allow the mixture to cool slightly, just until it is warm enough to handle but not completely cooled.
Step 6
Grease your hands with some ghee and begin shaping the mixture into small balls or laddus. Take a small portion and press firmly between your palms to shape each laddu.
Step 7
Place the shaped laddu on a plate and let them cool completely at room temperature. They will become firm as they cool.
Step 8
Once the laddus have cooled down and set, store them in an airtight container. They can be kept fresh for up to two weeks.
