Almond Til Chikki recipe - How to make Almond Til Chikki

1/4 cup black sesame seeds (kala til)
1/2 cup powdered almonds (badam)
1/3 cup grated jaggery (gur)
1 tsp ghee
1/2 tsp ghee for greasing

Method

Heat a non-stick pan, add the sesame seeds and almonds and roast over a slow flame till they turn light golden in colour. Remove and keep aside to cool.
Heat the ghee in the same pan, add the jaggery and simmer over a slow flame while stirring continuously, till the jaggery melts and caramelizes and forms a hard ball when you add a drop in a bowlful of cold water. Remove from the flame.
Add the roasted sesame seeds and almonds and mix thoroughly.
When slightly cool, divide the mixture into 10 equal pieces and shape each portion into rounds or mould into desire shapes, using different moulds or cookie cutters as shown in the picture.
Cool completely and store in an air-tight container.
