    Step 1

    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.

    Step 3

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

    Step 4

    Add the ghee and cardamom powder and mix well.

    Step 5

    Take off from heat.

    Step 6

    Grease your palms and when the mixture is still hot (but cool enough to handle) take enough in your hand to form a golf ball-sized lump.

    Step 7

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

    Step 8

    Repeat till all the mixture is used up. The laddoos will soon harden to candy-like texture.

    Step 9

    Store for up to 10-15 days in an air-tight container. Sesame Ladoo’s are ready to eat. Enjoy!
