Ingredients
Ingredients
- 2 cup Sesame Seeds white
- 1 cup Jaggery Powder organic
- 1 tbsp Ghee ghee
- 1 tbsp Water
Instructions
- In a wide, heavy-bottomed pan or kadhai, roast the sesame seeds over low to medium heat for 2 to 3 minutes. Stir frequently to ensure even toasting and prevent burning.
- Once the sesame seeds turn a light golden brown and become fragrant, transfer them to a plate or tray. Spreading them out helps them cool quickly and prevents further cooking.
- In the same pan, add the jaggery powder and water. The water helps dissolve the jaggery evenly.
- Cook over low heat, stirring continuously, until the jaggery melts completely and forms a smooth syrup. Be careful not to let it burn.
- Once the jaggery syrup is smooth, add the roasted sesame seeds to the pan. Mix quickly and thoroughly to coat the seeds evenly with the jaggery syrup.
- Continue stirring for 2 to 3 minutes until the mixture thickens slightly and starts to pull away from the sides of the pan. This indicates that the chikki is ready.
- Lightly grease a plate or tray with clarified butter or cooking spray. Pour the sesame-jaggery mixture onto the greased surface and quickly spread it out evenly using a greased spatula or rolling pin. Aim for a thickness of about ¼ to ½ inch.
- Allow the chikki to cool completely at room temperature. As it cools, it will harden. Once hardened, break the chikki into pieces of your desired size and shape.
Recipe Notes
Expert Tips
- Use a candy thermometer for best results, ensuring the sugar syrup reaches the hard-crack stage (around 300°F or 149°C).
- Grease your rolling surface and rolling pin well to prevent the chikki from sticking.
- Work quickly when spreading and shaping the chikki, as it sets fast.
Storage Instructions
- Store chikki in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 weeks.
