Ingredients:
Main Ingredients:
- 1 cup white sesame seeds (til)
- ½ cup raw peanuts
- ¾ cup Aazol’s Organic Jaggery Cubes (cut into small pieces)
- ¼ cup cashews (chopped)
- 1 tbsp ghee (+ extra for greasing hands)
Optional Additions (for extra flavor and nutrition):
- ¼ tsp cardamom powder (for aroma)
- 1 tbsp grated dry coconut (for a richer taste)
Method:
Step 1: Roast the Sesame Seeds
Heat a heavy-bottomed pan on medium heat.
Add white sesame seeds (til) and dry roast for 3-4 minutes, stirring continuously until they turn golden brown and release a nutty aroma.
Transfer the roasted sesame seeds to a plate and let them cool completely.
Step 2: Roast and Crush the Peanuts
In the same pan, dry roast ½ cup peanuts on medium heat until they become crisp and slightly browned (about 4-5 minutes).
Remove from heat and let them cool. Once cooled, rub them between your palms or in a clean kitchen towel to remove the skin.
Crush the peanuts coarsely using a mortar and pestle or a rolling pin. Set aside.
Step 3: Prepare the Jaggery Syrup
Cut Aazol’s Organic Jaggery Cubes into small pieces for easy melting.
In a pan, add the jaggery pieces with 1 tbsp water and melt on low heat, stirring continuously.
Once melted, cook for 1-2 minutes until the syrup thickens slightly. To check the consistency, drop a little syrup in water—if it forms a soft ball, it's ready.
Step 4: Mix Everything Together
Add the roasted sesame seeds, crushed peanuts, and chopped cashews to the jaggery syrup. Mix well so everything is evenly coated.
Add 1 tbsp ghee and stir to combine. If using, add cardamom powder and dry coconut at this stage.
Step 5: Shape the Ladoos
Allow the mixture to cool slightly but keep it warm enough to shape.
Grease your palms with ghee. Take a small portion of the mixture and roll it into a round ladoo.
Repeat with the remaining mixture.
Step 6: Serve & Store
Let the ladoos cool completely before transferring them to an airtight container.
Enjoy these delicious Til Peanut Jaggery Ladoos as a healthy snack or festive treat!
