Ingredients
 

  • 2 cup or 300 grm til
  • ¼ cup cashews
  • ¼ cup almonds
  • 1.5 cup or 200 grm jaggery
  • ¼ cup ghee
  • 1 tsp dry ginger powder
  • 1 tsp cardamom powder
  • Garnish with sesame seeds and pistachio slits

Instructions

  • In a pan, add 2 cups or 300 g sesame seeds (til) and roast them. Also add ¼ cup cashews and ¼ cup almonds, and roast on a low flame.
  • When the sesame seeds puff up, switch off the gas, transfer the mixture to a mixing bowl, and let it cool.
  • Then add the mixture to a mixer jar and grind it using pulse mode. A coarse powder is ready.
  • Now, if the ground powder measures 3 cups, take 1.5 cups jaggery and mix it well with the powder.
  • Add the sesame–jaggery mixture back into the mixer jar and grind again using pulse mode.
  • Now, heat ¼ cup ghee in a pan. Add the ground sesame and jaggery mixture and cook on a low flame until the jaggery melts and the mixture binds together. It takes only 2–3 minutes. Do not overcook the mixture.
  • Grease a plastic sheet with ghee, add the sukhadi mixture, and when it is slightly hot, shape it into a roll.
  • Garnish the roll with sesame seeds and pistachio slivers. Cover the roll with a plastic sheet and set it for 30 minutes.
  • Cut the sukhadi into pieces and serve, or store it in an airtight container. It stays good for up to 1 month at room temperature.

Notes

  • Roast the til (sesame seeds) on a low flame until they puff up.
  • Adding dry fruits gives the sukhadi a rich, mawa-like taste.
  • ½ cup of dry fruits is perfect for 2 cups of til.
  • Grind the til and dry fruit mixture using the pulse mode.
  • The proportion of jaggery should be half the quantity of the til mixture.
  • Cook the sukhadi mixture on a low flame for only 3–4 minutes, until the jaggery completely melts and the mixture binds together.
  • Do not overcook the sukhadi mixture; otherwise, it will become chewy.
  • Roll the sukhadi mixture while it is slightly hot.
  • If the sukhadi mixture does not bind, add a little hot ghee to help bind it.
