A friend passed us a ladoo couple of months back, with jaggery, and had sesame in it. I loved the texture a lot, slightly chewy, nutty flavor. I had it for first time and loved it. It was from grand sweets Chennai. But had no idea what it had, but something nutty, so I thought I will try peanut and sesame.

I still didn't get the same texture, probably it had some coconut too. But it turned out tasty with just three ingredients and a simple process. Just roast peanuts, sesame and powder it with jaggery. I did not add cardamom because I wanted the nutty flavor alone. If you like you can add cardamom for flavor.

Ingredients

Here are the simple ingredients needed to make til ke laddu.

• Sesame seeds - Use white variety sesame for this specific recipe.
• Peanuts - Roasted peanut, without skin is best for this, adds a flavour that matches the nutty flavour profile.
• Jaggery - Used as sweetener, recommend organic powder jaggery for best results.
