Ingredients
- 200 grams White sesame seeds
- 150 grams Jaggery (grated or powdered)
- 2 tablespoons Water
- 0.5 teaspoons Cardamom powder (optional)
- 1 teaspoons Ghee (clarified butter, optional)
Directions
Step 1
Heat a dry pan over medium heat and roast the sesame seeds until they become aromatic and start popping. Stir continuously to avoid burning. This should take about 3-5 minutes. Remove from heat and set aside to cool.
Step 2
In the same pan, add the grated or powdered jaggery along with 2 tablespoons of water. Heat on low flame while stirring continuously to form a syrup. The jaggery should completely dissolve, and the syrup should reach a soft ball consistency (to check, drop a small amount in cold water – it should form a soft, pliable ball).
Step 3
Once the jaggery syrup reaches the correct consistency, turn off the heat and quickly add the roasted sesame seeds and cardamom powder (if using). Stir well to coat the sesame seeds evenly.
Step 4
Allow the mixture to cool slightly, just enough to handle comfortably. Grease your palms with ghee or water and shape the mixture into small round balls (laddus) of your desired size.
Step 5
Repeat until all the mixture is used. Let the laddus cool completely before storing them in an airtight container. They can last for up to two weeks at room temperature.
