Chikki is an Indian sweet which is made out of different types of nuts or seeds, ghee, jaggery or sugar.
Sesame seeds are good source of fiber and protein. It reduces heart disease risks and controls blood pressure and blood sugar levels. Sesame seeds are full of antioxidants and it also provides vitamin B, B6, iron and copper which are good for our body. Sesame seeds improves our bone health and it helps to boost our immunity system.
It can be included in our meals easily by adding it into vegetables, curries, flatbreads, dry or fresh snacks or salads.
Chikki made out of sesame seeds is very tasty and at the same time it is very healthy too. I have mixed white and black sesame seeds here but it can be even made with any one type of sesame seeds.
