Instructions

Preparing the Sesame Seeds

Dry roast the sesame seeds in a heavy-bottomed pan over medium heat until they are fragrant and light golden brown. Ensure constant stirring to prevent burning. Set aside to cool completely.

Roasting the Mawa

In the same pan, add 1 tablespoon of ghee. Add the mawa and roast over low heat, stirring constantly, until it turns light golden brown and fragrant. This process will take approximately 5-7 minutes.

Combining Ingredients

In a large bowl, combine the roasted sesame seeds, roasted mawa, powdered sugar, and cardamom powder. Mix thoroughly until well combined.

Shaping the Ladoo

Add the remaining 1 tablespoon of ghee to the mixture. Gently mix until the mixture is pliable enough to form into small balls. If the mixture is too dry, add a teaspoon of milk at a time until it reaches desired consistency.

Garnishing and Serving

Roll the mixture into small balls (laddoos). Garnish with raisins, if desired. Serve and enjoy!

Recipe Notes

Expert Tips for Perfect Til Mawa Ladoo

For a richer flavor, use freshly made mawa (khoya).
Adjust the amount of powdered sugar according to your preference. Taste the mixture before shaping the laddoos.
Ensure the sesame seeds are completely cool before mixing them with the mawa to prevent the mixture from becoming oily.
If the ladoo mixture is too sticky, refrigerate it for 15-20 minutes before shaping. This will help to firm up the mixture.
