Til Ke Ladoo/Til Gur Ladoo

Til Ke Ladoo Recipe with step by step by photo
Til Ke Ladoo Recipe with step by step by photo - Til (sesame seeds) ladoos are must during the makar sankranti or kite festival in India. There is a traditional charm about this recipe that makes it appeal to everyone. Til and Gur are two classic Indian ingredients. Dry roasted sesame seeds, sweetened with jaggery and laced with cardamom makes delicious ladoos. Jaggery has a distinctive flavor, which complements Til (sesame seeds) beautifully. These Til Ladoos requires very little ghee, because jaggery provides enough stickiness to hold the ladoo together. Sometimes, I add a few crushed peanuts to it for some more texture and taste but in these ladoos I haven’t added peanuts. Til ladoo is crunchy, crispy, light and delicious. This is very easy recipe which anyone can makes quickly.






Ingredients:
  • White Til (sesame seeds) – 1 1/4 cups
  • Jaggery (Palm Sugar or Gur) – 1 1/4 cup (grated)
  • Water – 1/2 cup
  • Ghee - 1 tbsp + to grease hands
  • Cardamom powder - 1/4 tsp

Method:

1. Dry roast til (sesame seeds) for 1 to 2 minutes on low heat, till you begin to get nice aroma. Keep it aside.

2. Take jaggery and water in a heavy bottomed pan and cook on medium heat. Jaggery will be dissolve. Strain it to remove impurities.

3. Now pour this clean jaggery mixture to the pan and boil it over medium heat, keep stirring.

4. Add cardamom powder and ghee and keep stirring till it becomes one string consistency. When the right consistency is got, then turn off the heat.

(How to check the consistency: A. if you dip the spoon into the syrup and remove, the last drop falling from the spoon forms a string.
B. If you add a couple of drops into a bowl of cold water, the droplets should not dissolve into the water. You should be able to gather them together and form soft balls. This is the right consistency)

5. Now mix the roasted til quickly into this mixture and mix well. Use long spoon while mixing.

6. Apply ghee on your palm and make lemon size ball when the mixture is hot otherwise you will not be able to make balls. Pack the balls tightly. (If the mix cools down, put it back on stove and heat it for 30 sec till the jaggery melts again and make balls from it.)

7. Let it cool down for 10 minutes. Allow it to cool completely to store in an air-tight container.

8. Til ladoo is ready to eat.
