Method

Tap a number to tick off a step.

1. 1

   Clean the sesame seeds.

2. 2

   In a kadai (wok-style pan), roast the sesame seeds on a low flame, stirring continuously, until they start tempering (they begin to crackle and pop in the heat).

3. 3

   Take the seeds off the flame and set them aside.

4. 4

   In a deep pan, heat the jaggery on a medium flame, stirring until it melts and forms a thick syrup. When the syrup starts boiling and leaving the sides of the pan, add the roasted sesame seeds and mix well until thoroughly blended.

5. 5

   Form medium-sized balls while the mixture is still hot.

6. 6

   Let the ladoos cool, then use as required.
