How to make til laddu
-
To prepare til ke laddu, heat a broad non-stick pan, add the sesame seeds.
-
Dry roast on a slow flame for 8 minutes or until it is aromatic and changes color slightly while stirring continuously. It is important to stir continuously as sesame seeds tend to burn and give a bitter taste.
-
Keep aside. If you wish to give a smooth texture to your til ke laddu then ground the sesame seeds before adding.
-
To prepare til ke laddu, heat the ghee in a deep non-stick pan.
-
Add the jaggery.
-
Mix well and cook on a slow flame for 4 minutes, while stirring continuously. The jaggery syrup must reach a softball stage. That means when you pour a drop of jaggery syrup on the table it has to stay in the shape of a drop and not spread. You can also check the consistency by adding drops of jaggery syrup into a bowl containing water. Once you remove the jaggery out it should be sticky and have the softball shape.
-
Add the sesame seeds. Jaggery and sesame are heat-producing ingredients, giving warmth to our body, This makes the til ke laddu a winter special. Many people even prefer using black sesame seeds but, I personally feel the white ones are the best and nuttier and rustic in flavor.
-
Add peanuts.
-
Add cardamom powder. You can even add desiccated coconut to make the til ke laddus more flavorful.
-
Mix well and cook on a slow flame for 1 minute, while stirring continuously.
-
Transfer the mixture into a greased plate and allow it cool slightly for 1 to 2 minutes. The mixture turns hard and rigid when cold so be quick in the shaping process.

Wet your palms with little water or ghee.

Shape tilkut into a round.
-
Repeat steps 12 to 14 to make 16 more til ke laddu with the remaining mixture.
