Ingredients
Instructions
  1. Toast sesame seeds on a low flame in heavy bottomed pan or kadai. Keep stirring continuously, as sesame seeds turn bitter if they burn. After 2-3 minutes seeds will pop up. Heat for some more time till the seeds turn golden brown and nutty aroma of toasted seeds starts coming out.
  2. Remove seeds from hot pan, and now add ghee and then gur/jaggery to it. Also add 1 tablespoon of water. Jaggery will start melting. Stir it continuously till all the jaggery melts. Now perform water test to check if jaggery is ready. Take normal water in a bowl at room temperature. Drop some melted jaggery to it. Remove this jaggery from water, and try making a ball with it. If ball can be formed, then the jaggery is ready.
  3. Now add toasted sesame seeds to this melted jaggery, and mix well. Remove the pan from fire, and allow the mixture to cool down to a temperature, where it can be handled with hands. Apply water to palms and start making small balls with this mixture. Make laddus fast, as the mixture will not bind if it cools down.
  4. If the mixture cools down, and you are unable to form laddus, slightly heat it once again and quickly make laddus.
  5. Store laddus in airtight container when they are cold.
Recipe Notes
  • Use dark brown jaggery, as it is more nutritious.
  • Use heavy bottomed pan as both the ingredients burn pretty fast.
