Ingredients

  • White sesame seeds- 1 cup
  • Jaggery- 3/4 to 1 cup
  • Pea nuts- Handful Optional
  • Cardamom powder- 1/2 tsp
  • Ghee- 2 tsp
  • Cashew nuts- few

Instructions

Preparation

  • In a heavy bottom wok or pan add white sesame seeds and roast them till they slightly puff up and change in color. You can hear the crackling sound too. Remove it and roast the peanuts if you are adding. Peanuts peel off as they get roasted. Switch off the flame. Let both roasted ingredients cool down.

Method

  • Add the roasted sesame seeds in to mixer jar and grind them coarse powder. As the sesame seeds ooze out oil, the powder becomes slightly stiff. Now add jaggery to the jar and grind again to combine both of them well.
  • Transfer the sesame seeds and jaggery mix to wide bowl. Meanwhile break the cashew nuts, crumble the pea nuts and add them to laddu mix. Add ghee and cardamom powder too.
  • Combine well all the ingredients in the bowl and roll handful of this mix as laddus.
  • Easy til ke laddu | white sesame laddu is ready. Enjoy this on "Krishna Jayanthi" after offering to Lord.

Note

  • Make sure white sesame is roasted well, otherwise the raw smell persists and laddu doesn't taste as it should.
  • Only after half grinding sesame seeds add jaggery so that both combine well and grind evenly.
  • Peanuts and cashews give extra crunch to the laddu, I recommend adding them.
  • If you are making in large quantity then, you roast them together but the process of grinding, rolling laddus should be done in batches.
  • The oil oozed out itself is enough to tie the laddus. So you can easily prepare this laddu without the hassale of jaggery syrup.
