Often enjoyed during festivals like Lohri and Makar Sankranti, Gur Ki Revri offers a delightful combination of sweetness and nuttiness with a satisfying crunch.
Ingredients
- Sesame – 150gms/1cup
- Jaggery (crushed) – 180gms/ 1¼ cups
- Water a dash
- Black cardamom seeds – 1tbsp
- Cardamom powder – ½ tsp
- Baking soda – ½ tsp
- Ghee – 1tbsp
Instructions
- Heat a pan and add sesame and dry roast it for 3-4 mins. Remove and keep aside to cool completely.
- In a fresh pan add gur and water and bring to a boil. Now strain it into a fresh pan and bring to a boil again till it froths.
- Add a tbsp of ghee to get a shine on the final revdi. Boil till gur reaches a hard crack stage. Now add cardamom powder and baking soda, mix and add sesame (retain a handful of the sesame).
- Turn off the heat and remove the pan from the stove. Keep stirring the mixture to slightly cool it. Once it is a bit cool but still quite warm to touch and pliable break off a small piece and roll it into a round, dip in sesame and flatten it. Repeat with the remaining mixture. Once cool it will be crunchy and ready to serve.
