Til Aur Peanut Ladoo
Sesame-jaggery ladoo, Makar Sankranti's iron-rich handshake. The taste of every good news day in an Indian household. Serve at room temperature, cut small — sweetness needs no size.
Ingredients
- Salta pinch
- Ghee3 tbsp
- Peanuts1/2 cup, roasted
- Sugarto taste
- Sesame Seeds500 g
- Jaggery3/4 cup, grated
- Green Cardamom4, ground
Instructions
- 1
Set out every ingredient measured and ready; Indian sweets move fast once the heat is on.
- 2
Start the base: the sesame seeds and jaggery together in a thick pan, stirring so nothing catches.
- 3
Cook, stirring, until the mixture thickens and leaves the sides of the pan — 15 to 25 minutes of honest work.
- 4
Season the mix with the peanuts and green cardamom, reserving some nuts for the top.
- 5
Shape or slice once it has cooled enough to handle; it firms up as it rests.
Chef's tip
Resting the finished dish for five minutes off the heat lets the spices settle and deepen.
