Toast sesame seeds in a dry pan over medium heat until golden and fragrant, about 3-4 minutes.

Melt ghee in a separate pan over low heat.

Add jaggery and water to the melted ghee, stirring until jaggery dissolves completely.

Increase heat and cook the mixture until it reaches a soft ball stage, about 5-7 minutes.

Remove from heat and mix in toasted sesame seeds, cardamom powder, and any chopped nuts or dried fruits.

Allow the mixture to cool slightly until manageable.

Grease your hands with ghee and take small portions of the mixture to form round balls.

Roll the balls in coconut flakes if desired for extra texture.

Place the formed laddus on a greased plate to set.

Let them cool completely before serving.
