Sesame badam laddu----Rich in taste

Sesame badam Laddu:

Ingredients:

Sesame Seeds 3/4 Cup
Almonds 10
Jaggery 1/2 Cup – 3/4 Cup (Grated)

Method of preparation:

Soak almonds in water and microwave for a minute.
Peel the skin and let the almonds dry.
Roughly chop the almonds and keep aside.

Heat a heavy bottomed pan on low heat, add sesame seeds and fry till they turn light golden in color.
Remove from heat and cool the sesame seeds to room temperature.

Grind almonds into fine powder using a grinder.
Then add the sesame seeds and grind again into powder.
Finally add the sufficient grated jaggery and grind well.
Remove the ground mixture onto a plate.

Take lemon sized portion of ground sesame mixture and roll into tight laddu with help of hands.
Store the formed sesame almond laddu in a jar and they stay fresh for couple of weeks.
Serve sesame almond laddu as necessary.
.Note:. Choose soft jaggery if possible to ease the laddu making. If you have hard jaggery, you can melt with few tsps of water into syrup before adding the ground sesame almond powder.
