Uttarayan Special Til Gur Chikki

Instructions:

Roast the sesame seeds:

Heat a heavy-bottomed pan over medium heat.

Add the sesame seeds and roast them, stirring continuously, until they turn light golden brown and start to crackle (about 2-3 minutes). Do not let them turn brown. Remove and set aside.

Melt the jaggery:

In the same pan, add the ghee and grated jaggery.

Cook over low heat, stirring continuously, until the jaggery melts and starts to bubble.

To check if the jaggery syrup is ready: Drop a little syrup into a bowl of cold water. If it forms a hard ball that breaks, it's ready.

Combine and spread:

Immediately add the roasted sesame seeds and cardamom powder (if using) to the jaggery syrup.

Mix quickly and thoroughly.

Pour the mixture onto a greased flat surface or rolling board.

Shape the chikki:

Using a greased rolling pin, quickly roll the mixture into a thin sheet (work quickly as it hardens fast).

With a sharp knife, cut into squares or rectangles while still warm. Cool and serve:

Let the chikki cool completely. Break it into pieces and store it in an airtight container.

Tip: 

Work quickly after adding the sesame seeds and jaggery, as the mixture hardens quickly.

Enjoy your crispy, festive Til Chikki for Uttarayan!
