Cinnamon is a common spice that enhances flavor.

Dry roast 3/4 cup sesame seeds in a small cast iron pan over low flame until golden and aromatic, about 2-3 minutes.

Dry roast nuts (almonds, pistachios, cashews) and chop them for garnish.

In a non-stick pan, add 3/4 teaspoon ghee and then add jaggery, melting it over low flame without making a syrup.

Once jaggery is completely melted, add the roasted sesame seeds and mix well to coat them evenly.

Grease silicone molds or a flat surface with ghee, add the chopped nuts to the molds, then pour the sesame and jaggery mixture on top.

Flatten the mixture with a spoon and press down with a heavy object to ensure the nuts stick to the chikki.

Allow to cool at room temperature for about 20-30 minutes before serving.
