Sesame laddoo (tila laddu)

04:20 | Publish by Divya


Sesame ladoo (तीला लड्डू ) are  generally  prepared by amchi folks during Makara Sankranthi, Krishnastami and Diwali festivals. Sesame is considered good for health, and since it keeps body warm, people eat this during winter season.

Ingredients: For 12-15 laddoos
White Sesame seeds [तीलू ] -1/2 cup (100 gm)
Jaggery [ गोड़ा ]-1/2 cup
Cashew nut [ कज्जू बीय ]- 4 to 5 or roasted ground nut [शेंगा बीय] -10 numbers
Cardamom powder [ययाला  ]-1/4 tps


Water-1/2 cup (Note: If you are using jenu jaggery [a form of liquid jaggery] then water is not needed. 
Method:
Take a heavy bottomed pan (Khadayi) and roast it in small quantities on a medium flame, at a time. This is necessary as it pops a lot. Roast is complete hwne the seeds puffs up and start popping. Once the whole lot or sesame is roasted, add cashew nuts or ground nuts (small pieces) and cardamom powder.

Take jaggery in heavy bottomed pan, add water and heat it in a low flame for ~7-10 mins. I have used jenu jaggery, so I have not added water into it while heating it.


 To check whether jaggery is ready to form laddus, take small quantity and put it into water.If you find that it has become hard, this means that jaggary is ready for  making laddus. 


Switch off the heat,add sesame mixture to form laddus.
