Ingredients
- 1 cup white sesame seeds
- 0.5 cup jaggery
- 2 tablespoons water
- 0.25 teaspoon cardamom powder
Directions
Step 1
Heat a clean, dry pan over medium heat and add the sesame seeds.
Step 2
Dry roast the sesame seeds, stirring continuously, until they turn light golden and release a nutty aroma. This should take about 4-5 minutes.
Step 3
Remove the sesame seeds from the pan and allow them to cool completely in a bowl.
Step 4
In the same pan, add jaggery and water. Heat on low to medium heat until the jaggery melts completely, forming a smooth syrup. Stir occasionally to prevent sticking.
Step 5
Once the jaggery syrup forms a one-string consistency (when a drop of syrup stretched between two fingers forms a single thread), turn off the heat.
Step 6
Add the cardamom powder to the syrup and mix well.
Step 7
Immediately add the roasted sesame seeds to the jaggery syrup and mix quickly to coat the seeds evenly.
Step 8
Allow the mixture to cool slightly, just enough so it can be handled comfortably. Do not let it cool completely or it will harden.
Step 9
Grease your palms with a tiny bit of water or oil and take small portions of the mixture. Shape them into small, round laddus.
Step 10
Place the laddus on a plate or parchment paper and let them cool completely to set.
Step 11
Store in an airtight container and enjoy within a week.
