Ingredients
- 1 cup white sesame seeds
- 3/4 cup jaggery
- 2 tablespoons water
- 1/4 teaspoon cardamom powder
- 1 teaspoon coconut oil (optional, for greasing hands)
Directions
Step 1
Place a heavy-bottomed pan over medium heat and dry roast the white sesame seeds for 3–5 minutes, stirring constantly to ensure even toasting. The seeds should turn golden and release a nutty aroma. Remove from heat and transfer to a plate to cool.
Step 2
In the same pan, add the jaggery and water. Stir the mixture over low to medium heat until the jaggery melts completely and forms a syrup.
Step 3
To check the right consistency of the jaggery syrup, perform the 'soft ball test': Drop a small amount of syrup into a bowl of cold water. If it forms a soft, pliable ball, it's ready. If not, cook the syrup for another minute and test again.
Step 4
Turn off the heat and immediately add the roasted sesame seeds and cardamom powder to the syrup. Mix quickly and thoroughly using a spatula to combine everything evenly.
Step 5
Allow the mixture to cool slightly (just enough to handle with your hands without burning yourself).
Step 6
Grease your hands lightly with coconut oil (optional) and take a small portion of the mixture. Roll it between your palms to form a round laddu. Repeat with the remaining mixture.
Step 7
Let the laddus cool completely at room temperature. They will firm up as they cool.
Step 8
Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 1 week.
