Method

  1. Dry roast the white sesame seeds on low flame until they turn light golden and aromatic. Set aside to cool.
  2. In a heavy pan, melt the grated jaggery on low heat with a splash of water, stirring until it reaches soft-ball consistency (a drop set in cold water forms a soft ball).
  3. Switch off the flame, add the roasted sesame seeds and cardamom powder, and mix quickly and evenly.
  4. While the mixture is still warm, grease your palms lightly and roll small portions into round ladoos.
  5. Let the tilgul ladoos cool and firm up. Store in an airtight container; they keep for up to 10-12 days.
