Ingredients
- 1 cup Sesame Seeds
- 1 cup Jaggery (gud)
- 1 tablespoon Coconut Oil
Method
- Toast the sesame seeds on low heat. Remove and let cool.
- Put coconut oil in the pan and then melt the jaggery over low heat. Stir constantly until it caramelizes. The caramelization test is to drop a piece of gooey jaggery into a cold glass of water. If it is chewy, then cook for a bit longer. Once it ’s hard in the water, then it’s ready. Note: water is used for the test only, don’t put it in your jaggery mixture
- Mix the sesame seeds into the melted jaggery. Work quickly to incorporate it all and then spread on to the silicone mat.
- Put another silicone mat on top and roll it out as thin as possible. You have to work fast when rolling.
- While still warm, cut into pieces and let sit to cool completely.
Notes
Substitute: Can substitute with peanuts or other nuts.
Personal Note: Such a nostalgic sweet snack that immediately reminds my husband of his childhood.
