    Dry roast the sesame seeds in a flat pan on medium heat. Do this till they are a very pale golden color and aromatic.

    Step 2

    Put the jaggery and water in a pan and melt to form a thick syrup.
    Note: To test if it is done drop a little into a bowl of chilled water. If it forms a ball, the syrup is ready. If not, cook some more. Test again till ready.

    Add the toasted sesame seeds to the syrup and mix well.

    Step 4

    Add the ghee and cardamom powder and mix well.

    Step 5

    Roll between your palms till smooth. Lay on a greased plate to cool.

    Step 8

  • The Secret to Perfect Marble Cake: This Recipe is a Game Changer!

    Marble Cake is a wonderfully rich and buttery cake that gives you two cakes in one (a chocolate cake and a white cake). The marbling effect is created by placing white and chocolate cake batters, alternately in a bundt pan, and then running a knife (do not stir) through the two batters. Marble cakes may look complicated, but they actually start with a basic pound cake batter.
