Ingredients
– cardamom seeds from 4 cardamom pods, powdered
– 225 gm (1 ½ cups) sesame seeds
– 220 gm ( ¾ th cup) jaggery*
– 4 tsp ghee
– 1 tbsp milk
– 7″ or 8″ square tin
– baking parchment
Method
-Powder the cardamom seeds in a mortar and pestle or a coffee grinder. Roast the sesame seeds until they change colour, about 4 to 5 minutes and allow to cool. Crumble the jaggery and keep aside.
-In a heavy bottomed pan, put in the ghee and after the ghee melts, add the jaggery and allow it to melt on low heat.
-Once the jaggery melts, stir in the milk (the milk helps to soften the chikki, so if you don’t want a chikki that is hard to bite into, do not forget this step).
-After the jaggery bubbles for a few seconds, you need to put in the roasted sesame seeds, the cardamom powder and mix well until all the sesame seeds are coated with the jaggery.
-Turn off the heat and transfer this mixture onto a tray lined with baking parchment. You need to make the surface even, using any bowl with a flat bottom and pressing it all over the surface of sesame mixture.
-You need to make cut the flattened surface into squares or diamonds immediately. As it cools, the chikki begins to harden and will be difficult to cut into.
-Allow the squares or diamonds to cool down, harden and acquire shape.
-After it is completely cool, you can break away the pieces easily and store it in an air tight container.
Til Chikki is ready to be served!
