Til Ke Laddu (Sesame Seed Ladoo) Recipe

Yields: 20-25 ladoos

Prep time: 15 minutes

Cook time: 10 minutes

Ingredients:

 * 1 cup sesame seeds (til)

 * 1 cup jaggery, grated

 * 1/4 cup chopped nuts (cashews, almonds, or peanuts)

 * 1 tablespoon ghee

 * 1/4 teaspoon cardamom powder

 * 1 tablespoon water (optional)

Instructions

 * Roast Sesame Seeds: Heat a dry skillet over medium heat. Add sesame seeds and roast for 5-7 minutes, stirring constantly, until they turn golden brown and fragrant. Remove from heat and let cool completely.

 * Prepare Jaggery: In a saucepan, combine grated jaggery and water (if using). Heat on low heat, stirring continuously, until the jaggery melts completely and forms a smooth syrup.

 * Combine Ingredients: In a large bowl, combine roasted sesame seeds, chopped nuts, cardamom powder, and melted jaggery. Mix well until all ingredients are evenly coated.

 * Shape Ladoos: Grease your palms with a little ghee. Take a small amount of the mixture and roll it between your palms to form a ball. Repeat with the remaining mixture to form ladoos of desired size.

 * Store: Store the ladoos in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week.

Tips & Variations:

 * For a richer flavor, roast the nuts along with the sesame seeds.

 * You can add a pinch of nutmeg or cinnamon powder for additional flavor.

 * For a healthier option, use jaggery powder instead of grated jaggery.

 * If the mixture is too dry, add a few drops of water to bind it together.

Enjoy your delicious and healthy Til Ke Laddu!
