Til Chikki Recipe | Makar Sankranti Special Recipe | Divine Taste With Anushruti

Powder the cardamom seeds in a mortar and pestle or a coffee grinder.

Roast the sesame seeds until they change colour, about 4 to 5 minutes and allow to cool.

Crumble the jaggery and keep aside.

In a heavy bottomed pan, put in the ghee and after the ghee melts, add the jaggery and allow it to melt on low heat.

Once the jaggery melts, stir in the milk.

After the jaggery bubbles for a few seconds, add the roasted sesame seeds and the cardamom powder and mix well until all the sesame seeds are coated with the jaggery.

Turn off the heat and transfer this mixture onto a tray lined with baking parchment.

Make the surface even, using any bowl with a flat bottom and pressing it all over the surface of sesame mixture.

Cut the flattened surface into squares or diamonds immediately before it cools and hardens.

Allow the squares or diamonds to cool down, harden and acquire shape.

After it is completely cool, break away the pieces easily and store it in an air tight container.
