Sweet Sesame Chikki

A hard, long-lasting sesame and jaggery brittle; an energy-dense sweet that never spoils on the road.

Ingredients:

• 1 cup Sesame seeds (til)

• ¾ cup Jaggery: Grated

• 1 tsp Ghee

Recipe:

1. Dry roast the sesame seeds until they pop; set aside.

2. Melt jaggery with ghee to a hard-ball syrup stage.

3. Quickly stir in the sesame seeds.

4. Pour onto a greased surface and roll flat.

5. Cut into squares while warm.

6. Cool fully and store in an airtight tin.

💡 Tip: The chikki keeps for two weeks and gives quick energy on long journeys. Cut it while warm; it sets very hard.
