Til Gud
- 1 cup sesame seeds
- 1 cup jaggery roughly crushed/crumbled
- 1/2 cup peanuts
- 1/2 teaspoon cardamom powder green, freshly ground
- 1 tablespoon ghee
- 1/4 cup water
- Roast the sesame seeds on medium heat until they are a medium brown color (don't let them burn).Take them out in to a bowl.
- Grind the peanuts without letting them become powdery fine. They should just break up into smallish bits and chunks. Mix these with the sesame seeds.
- Heat the ghee in a pan and add the jaggery and the water. Heat the mixture in to a thick syrup till it reaches the stage where a drop of it put in to a bowl of cold water will retain it's shape. This stage can take a while to reach so keep stirring the mixture every once in a while until then.
- Take the pan off the heat now and stir in the cardamom powder and the sesame seeds and peanuts mixture. Mix thoroughly.
- Cut through the mixture to make 4 equal parts, then apply some ghee on your hands and form equal sized balls (you should be able to make about 5 from each of those 4 portions). Place these on a plate that you would have greased with a little ghee already while the syrup cooked.
