This Indian dish is a perfect blend of crisp and crunchy sesame seeds (til) and viscous sweet jaggery syrup. It is supposed to be a winter recipe as sesame have heating properties.
Ingredients
Sesame (til) seeds – 4 cups
Water (paani) – half a cup
Brown sugar or powdered jaggery (gud) – half a cup
Coconut (nariyal) - 1 coconut chopped finely into small pieces
Method
Take a saucepan and heat it on the middle flame, wait till the vessel is warm.
Mix the water with jaggery and bring to boil to make syrup.
When the mixture is boiling, slowly add coconut and heat till it becomes thick.
Roast sesame seeds in the other saucepan till they become light brown. Do not overheat the seeds as they may give a bitter taste if heated too much.
Add these seeds to the syrup and slowly stir and mix.
Allow the preparation to cool for some time.
Now make tiny compact balls and tasty Til ke ladoos are ready!!!
