Steps

1

Dry roast sesame seeds on low flame just for 3-4 minutes so they become crunchy
Keep aside to cool
2

Keep aside a greased silicon sheet or two plastics sheets ready.
3

Now take pieces of jaggery in a pan and add 2 tbsp of water
Heat the pan to melt it
Keep stirring so that jaggery melts and doesn’t stick to bottom.
4

Once jaggery is melted completely strain it with a sieve so that impurities if any can be sieved.
Now take the melted jaggery again in a pan and let it boil.
5

Keep stirring to avoid burning.
6

It will keep on thickening
Now to taste the jaggery, take water in a bowl and drop little melted jaggery in that water.
It will solidify quickly, take it out and try to break it. If it’s crunchy that means jaggery is done but if not then boil it for some more time and repeat the testing process for 3-4 minutes more.
7

Once jaggery is ready add roasted sea same seeds and 1 tbsp of ghee. Mix quickly and switch off the flame.
8

Now spread this mix quickly on the greased silicon sheet and press it with another sheet.
It will be very hot so one has to be careful.
9

When it’s good enough to touch pinch small portions and press it between tumb and finger to look like flat coins.
10

This step should be done very quickly otherwise mix will solidify into a jaggery mass.
