Ingredients
- 150 grams Sesame Seeds
- 200 grams Jaggery
- 2 tbsp Dry Fruits
Instructions
- Dry-roast the Sesame seeds: Heat a heavy-bottomed pan on low-medium heat. Add the sesame seeds and roast them, stirring continuously, until they turn light golden and release a nutty aroma (about 4–5 minutes). Do not over-roast, or they will taste bitter. Transfer them to a plate and let them cool completely.
- Coarsely Grind: Once the roasted sesame seeds have cooled down, transfer them to a mixer grinder. Pulse them a few times to get a coarse powder. Do not grind continuously, or the seeds will release their oil and turn into paste.
- Mix the Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, combine the coarsely ground sesame seeds, grated jaggery, and chopped dry fruits. Mix everything thoroughly with your hands, mashing any small jaggery lumps to ensure an even mixture. (If the jaggery is hard, you can pulse the jaggery and sesame seeds together in the grinder for a few seconds to blend them easily).
- Shape the Laddus: Grease your palms with a little ghee. Take small portions of the mixture and press firmly to shape them into round, bite-sized laddus.
- Store: Allow the laddus to firm up at room temperature for an hour. Store them in an airtight container for up to 2–3 weeks.
