Ingredients

  • ½ cup Til/Sesame seeds, roasted
  • ½ cup Jaggery, grated
  • 3 tbsp Water

Instructions

  • Heat a clean dry pan and slow roast the sesame seeds on low heat, stirring continuously. Once they turn a light golden brown, remove onto a plate and keep aside.
  • Heat 3 tbsp water in the same pan and add the grated jaggery. Stir till the jaggery melts completely. Boil the jaggery till bubbles form and it slowly starts to thicken.
  • Keep a small bowl of water near you and drop a little of the jaggery in the water and check with your fingers to see if it forms a soft ball. Once it starts to form a soft ball, switch off the gas and stir in the roasted sesame seeds till they are well combined with the jaggery.
  • Transfer the sesame seeds-jaggery mixture onto a plate. Dip your hands into a bowl of chilled water, take about a tablespoon of the mixture and roll into a ball. Do the same with the rest of the mixture while still warm.
  • Serve delicious Til Laddu with a mug of coffee or tea. Store the Til gur ladoos in an air tight container.
