Ingredients
  

  • 1/2 cup Sesame seeds (Til seeds)
  • 1/3 cup Jaggery
  • 1 teaspoon Ghee, + 1/2 teaspoon more for greasing

Instructions
 

  • To begin making the Til Chikki recipe, we will first grease an 8 x 8 square pan with ghee that has a minimum of two-inch rim and keep aside.
  • Place a pan on medium heat and roast the (til) sesame seeds till they are light golden in color. Turn off the heat and allow the sesame seeds to cool.
  • Heat ghee in a saucepan on medium heat; stir in the crushed jaggery to the ghee and allow the jaggery to melt. Turn the heat to low and continue stirring until it the jaggery caramelizes. When you drop a small amount into cold water it should form a hard ball.
  • Turn off the heat and immediately stir in the roasted (til) sesame until well combined with the melted jaggery.
  • While the mixture is hot quickly spread the mixture on to the greased pan and smoothen the surface with a flat spatula. Allow the mixture to cool completely allowing it to set.
  • When completely cool, cut the Til Chikki/ bars into desired shapes and serve as a healthy sweet for the festivals.
