  2. Transfer to a tray and set aside to cool.
  3. Once cool, crush the white sesame seed coarsely in a mortar and pestle.
To make the til chikki mix
  1. Pour water in a kadhai over low heat.

How to make chikki

  1. Leave the mixture in a kadhai to cool down for 2-3 minutes.
  2. The mixture shouldn't be that hot that it burns your hands, not should it too cold.
  3. Take a plate and spread ghee on it.
  4. Put the mixture on a plate and roll it thin with the help of a rolling pin.
  5. Now the chikki is ready, cut it into your desired shape.
Notes
  1. Dry roast the sesame seeds on a low flame.
  2. Also, add dry roast nuts to make it more nutritious.
  3. I also add water to make jaggery syrup, otherwise, if you add jaggery directly into the kadhai, it burns immediately and there is a taste of burnt in ladoo.
  4. You can also add saunth powder if you like the taste of saunth.
