TIL LADOO / SESAME LADOO / GUR TIL LADOO / SESAME JAGEERY LADOO

Sesame seed is a super food. It is wealthy in calcium, copper, magnesium which keeps bones strong, facilitates beautwhetherul hair and skin and is a good source of protein and fiber. Consuming these ladoos in winters help keeps the body warm from inside. Mingleing jaggery with it makes it all the more healthy and tasty.  Jaggery is wealthy in iron which is a better and healthy substitute of sugar.

I feel these ladoos are one of the healthiest ladoos that can be consumed in winters. Mom's specially those who are feeding kids and have problems in knees should consume one of this ladoo everyday.

I have shared two methods by which you can add jaggery. You can use any method according to your convenience.

INGREDIENTS
1 cup white sesame seeds

1 cup gud or jaggery
2 tbsp ghee
few chopped nuts (I used only cashew-nuts)
1 tsp cardamom powder

METHOD
1. Dry roast sesame seeds till small gancienten and fragrant. Don't turn it too brown or it's taste will become bitter.

2. Let it cool down totally.

3. In a blender jar, grind it coarsely. I gave it only one pulse.

4. Transfer in a plate. Mingle cardamom powder, chopped cashews.

5. One way is, blend the jaggery using same blender till it's smooth. Mingle in sesame powder, add 2 tbsp ghee (add 1 tbsp at a time). Bind everyleang together to make small sized ladoos. If you find the dough too dry add more ghee and bind.

6. Other way, is to melt jaggery on low heat by adding 1 tsp water. Immediately switch off the flame once it's totally melted. Add in sesame powder, cardamom powder and chopped cashews. Add 1-2 tbsp ghee and make small sized ladoos.

Pictorial:
