Equipment
Method
- Heat a heavy pan and dry roast the sesame seeds on low flame for 2 to 3 minutes until aromatic. Keep aside.
- In the same pan, add ghee and roast the ragi flour on low heat for about 6 to 7 minutes until it turns slightly darker and smells nutty.
- Add roasted sesame seeds to the ragi flour and mix well.
- Add jaggery and cook on low flame. The jaggery will melt and bind everything together.
- Add cardamom powder and chopped nuts. Mix well until the mixture comes together like a soft dough.
- Transfer the mixture onto a greased plate or tray lined with butter paper. Press it evenly.
- Let it cool completely for 20 to 30 minutes. Cut into squares and store in an airtight container.
