Till Ladoo | Sessame seeds

January brings two festivals for Garhwali people in which we make sesame till ladoos and prasad. Its Makar Sakranti and Sakath Chauth. Here I have prepared ladoo with jaggery, a very festive in my culture.

Nutritional Value 

Sesame seeds are very healthy and winter friendly as they come under hot basics of food. Here I have used 150 gms of seeds and 100 gms of jaggery which made aroud 25 small laddos with 30 kcal each.

Ingredients

Sesame seeds- 150 gms 

Jaggery- 100gms

Ghee- 1tbsp

Method

Clean the seeds and dry roast them in a wok/kadahi

Crush them coarsely either in a grinder or a mortar.

 

Melt the jaggery with two spoons of water in a heavy pan and add ghee in it, as soon as its start boiling add the coarse seeds and mix it thoroughly.

Now wet your hand with little water and start making small round (ladoo) shapes and keep them aside in  a greased plate. Don't let it cool completely the mixture should be little warm so to make the shapes perfectly.

 Have a blessed festival or snack.

Enjoy!
