Ingredients

  • 1 cup sesame seeds
  • ¾ cup jaggery light
  • 1 Tbsp ghee
  • tsp cardamom optional
  • tsp nutmeg optional

Instructions

  • Dry roast the sesame seeds in a warm pan until toasted. Remove from pan and set aside.
  • In the same pan, heat ghee and jaggery.
  • Heat the jaggery in the pan to hardball stage. It should foam up. If you place a drop in water to cool and remove it, it should maintain its shape and be firm. If you bend it, it should snap.
  • Add sesame seeds and mix well.
  • Transfer to a cutting board with parchment paper. Spread the bittle by patting it with the back of a greased measuring cup, or rolling it out with a rolling pin.
  • Cut into squares or diamonds. Allow to cool.
