Til/sesame seeds Chikki

Chikki is something we like to eat a lot. Many times my husband and I eat Chikki as our dessert but I had never tried making it myself.

I had all the ingredients Chikki jaggery, til/sesame seeds the recipe and I made chikki .

Ingredients:

150 grms Jaggery (Chikki),cut in small pieces

150 grms Til/sesame seeds

1 tblspn ghee

1 tblspn sugar

Method:

1.       Keep ready a well greased rolling pin, a small bowl of water and your kitchen platform cleaned.

2.       In a kadhai add the ghee and add the jaggery. Stir a bit.

3.       The jaggery will immediately melt when it melts put a drop of the melted jaggery in the bowl of water. Now fish it out and press it between your fingers. When it forms a hard ball you jaggery is ready.

4.       Put off the gas and add the til/sesame seeds and sugar. Stir quickly as the mass solidifies immediately.

5.       Transfer to the platform and roll with the rolling pin.

6.       I have cut the chikki too soon hence the pieces are not very even let it cool slightly and cut the pieces.
