Til ladoo

Til or sesame is a favorite amongst Indians, especially during winter months.
Other than the oil content, which keeps the skin glowing, this wonder seed is abundant in calcium and zinc.

The til laddoo as made here is a high-calorie snack, generally used as a quick breakfast substitute or an afterschool energy booster.  Only one a time is recommended.  Believe me, it is very filling.


Ingredients:
1 cup roasted peanuts.
1 cup black sesame seeds (nonhulled )
1 cup dried, powdered coconut
1 cup powdered jaggery.



Process:
Roast the sesame seeds till just begins to splutter.  Do not let it splutter fully.
Add in the peanuts and roast a bit more.
Add in the coconut.  Let it roast for a bit, enough to exude a lovely fragrance.

Add in the jaggery.  Mix in thoroughly.
Let the whole mixture cool for a while
Then grind it in a mixer.

Press the powder together to form small balls or laddoos.
Makes around 20 laddoos.
