Til ke Laddu

How to make Til ke Laddu:

Step1: Clean the sesame seed very well and remove all the unwanted particles. Then heat the pan and dry roast the sesame seed by stirring continuously on low-medium flame for about 4-5minutes till it becomes light brown in color.

It will look quite fluffy and when you press it between the finger it will be easily crushed, its the time when you can know that it’s perfectly roasted. (Make sure not to roast it till brown otherwise it will not taste that good). Remove it to a plate to make it cool faster.

Step2: Now in a Blender/grinder combine roasted peanuts along with dry fruits like cashew, almonds (you can choose any kind of dry fruits) and blend it into a coarse dry mixture.

Step3: Now heat the same pan on low-medium flame and add 1-2 teaspoon ghee, then add the jaggery and keep breaking large pieces into small parts using the spoon. In a couple of minutes jaggeries will be melted to a paste, let it boil for a minute.

Step4: Now put off the flame and add roasted sesame seed, crushed dry fruits and peanut mixture along with cardamom powder and mix every thing very well.

(Take care while handling hot mixture, if it’s too hot let it cool a bit till you are able to bear its heat). Once it is cooled for a couple of hours keep it in an air-tight container.
