Instructions
  1. In a frying pan, add some ghee and roast the sesame seeds until brown for five to six minutes. Constant stirring is required, otherwise they can burn very fast and will give a bitter taste.
  2. Transfer them into a bowl.
  3. Grind the seeds in a grinder or pestle and mortar. Grind them very course.
  4. Put jaggery in a non-sticky pan. Add one cup of water and bring it to boil. Keep boiling for some time until a thick syrup of jaggery is formed.
  5. Now, pour the syrup into ground sesame seeds. Add it slowly and not all at once. In the meantime, keep stirring the sesame seeds powder so that you will get an idea how much more syrup you need to add.
  6. Keep it mixing fast and continuously, otherwise the jaggery syrup will get crystallised.
  7. Transfer it into an aluminum paper or plate. Dip your hands in cold water and start flatting it. Keep it about one inch thick. Let it cool down a little.
  8. Cut it in whatever shape you like.
  9. Now cool it down and serve. You can also store them in an airtight container. It stays well for 2-3 weeks.
Recipe Notes

Keep stirring the sesame seeds or else it will get bitter.
While adding gur syrup, add it fast otherwise it will get set or crystallised.
Don't store it for too long time or else the oil in jaggery will get rancid and not fit to eat.
