Recipe for Lohri : Til Gajak

Ingredients:

• 1 Cup Sesame
• 3/4 Cup Sticky Jaggery
• 1/2 Tsp. Cardamom Powder
• 2 Tbsp. Clarified Butter (Ghee)

Method:

• Heat sesame on low fire, stirring continuously so that they do not splutter and fall out of the pan. When cooled, pound them.
• Heat jaggery in 1/2 cup water till the syrup is thick. Test its consistency by putting a drop in cold water -it should remain firm. Add roasted sesame.
• Grease a board and spread the sesame-jaggery mixture. Roll flat to 1 cm thickness.
• Cut into squares when sufficiently cool and hardened.
• Store in a container lined with butter paper.
