Tilache Laddu

Til Laddu

Ingredients:

500 gms Sesame Seeds

500 gms Sticky Jaggery (Chikki Gul)

1 Cup Peanuts

1 Cup Dry Coconut (Grated)

½ Cup Roasted Split Gram [Daliya]

1 tsp Cardamom powder

2 tbsp Ghee

Method:

Dry roast sesame till light golden brown and keep aside. Now dry roast peanuts and clean the skin and crush them coarse .On a very low heat dry roast the grated coconut. In other pan, melt jaggery and bring it to a boil. In order to check whether the jaggery is done, take water in a cup and put a drop of jaggery in it. Allow it to cool. If it forms a soft ball, then jaggery is ready for laddus. Now add roasted Sesame, coarse peanuts, roasted dry coconut, roasted split grams and cardamom powder and mix well and remove from heat. Grease hands with little Ghee to make laddus while the mixture is hot. Because of ghee, hot mixture will not stick to hands. Make 1 inch round shaped laddus while mixture is hot. If it gets cold, it won’t form the round shape as the jaggery will become hard. So, while making laddus if mixture becomes cold, reheat the mixture so that jaggery will melt and you can make laddus from that remaining mixture.
