Lets now talk about today's recipe... Jan marks us with the Festival for Hindus ... SANAKRANTI ...




Festival full of Til Ghud .... That is Sesame seeds and Jaggery .. I am talking about... I am north Indian... and at my place we celebrate Sanakranti with this Till ghud... flying kites... and playing a game we called in Hindi as "GULI DHANDA"... I dont know its English name... But playing it in childhood was a great fun... I Miss those days a lot... So what My mom use to do.. is in morning we all take a bath... with sesame seed in our bucket of water... Its a ritual for this day... Then my mom do puja.. we go temple.. will offer god ladoo and barfi made with sesame seeds and Jaggery... And then my Mom as married women will distribute some things to 10-15 women's... by calling them at our home.. doing haldi kumkum... and giving sweets and one of the things..

Now I too a married women... So I too perform the same ritual as my Mom do... This time I too prepared Til Ghud ladoos and barfi... will be sharing here today the recipe of both... So lets Start with it :) :).... Both have the same ingredients and quantity just with one difference... In Ladoos I added Coconut flakes as well...




Ingredients :-

1 cup roasted sesame seeds
3/4 cup jaggery
1/4 tsp cardamon powder
1/2 cup roasted coconut flakes(for Ladoos)
 1 tsp ghee
and chopped roasted nuts (optional)

Procedure :-

In a pan add ghee and Jaggery.On medium flame let it melt and cook.Stir continuously till the whole jaggery melt and starts bubbling.Take a drop of melted jaggery and drop it in a bowl full of water..If it forms solid ball.. Then its done... Quickly take it out of flame and mix the left over ingredients.For Barfi Grease a plate with ghee and pour the hot mixture on the plate...And withe help of some flat small bowl or knife try to flatten it on tray.. apply ghee on back side if small bowl with which you are flattening it.And make cuts with knife of desired shape barfi you want.For Ladoos you need to grease your hands with ghee and roll the ladoos with hot mixture carefully.




Note :- You need to make Ladoos with hot mixture otherwise it will become hard and you will not able to give shape.

Also while setting the barfi make the desired cuts while it is hot... otherwise after some time you will not able to cut it...




You can also add roasted peanuts in whole form or in powder form to this Ladoos and Barfi.Hope you enjoyed this recipe...Its good to eat sesame seeds and jaggery in winter season.Its very good for health.Also you can keep this in airtight container for 1 month and eat whenever you want.
