Ingredients
· 3 cups Sesame seeds
· 2 ½ cups Mawa / Khoya — Grated / broken roughly
· 2 cups Sugar
· ½ cup Cashews ground coarsely
· 1 tsp cardamom powder
· 2 tbsp Ghee clarified butter
Recipe
1. Clean and dry roast the sesame seeds in pan on low flame until they turn light brown. Separate 2 tbsp of sesame seeds and keep them aside for rolling on later.
2. Once at room temperature, grind the rest in mixer to fine powder.
Note :- Don’t over blend it, or sesame seeds will start releasing oil and it will be all be a greasy lump.
3. Now, heat Ghee in a big vessel / kadhayi and add grated Mawa to it. Keep stirring this until it it starts leaving the sides of the pan and turn into a shiny smooth brown lump .
Note :- The flame should be on low-medium all this time, else you might burn it.
4. Once it’s all done, and this will take good 15–18 minutes; add sesame powder, cashew powder and cardamom powder to it. Mix well and let it roast for a further of 2–3 minutes at low.
5. Now at last, add sugar, mix well and turn off the flame. Transfer the mixture into another mixing bowl and keep aside for 5–8 minutes. While it’s still warm, prepare small balls / laddoos out of it shaping between your palms.
6. Now take the 2 tbsp of sesame seeds that we kept aside after roasting. Spread those on a vessel and roll these Laddoos on it while they are still warm. Once it’s all cooled off, nothing will stick to the balls so better do it immediately after rolling them
7. Once Laddoos come to room temperature, you may store in an Air-tight container for up to 2–3 days outside and up to a week in fridge.
Important Notes and tips
v Be careful while transferring the cooked mixture to the bowl, and while shaping the balls. The mixture should be warm enough to hold the shape, but not piping hot
v You may also add almonds with cashews or even pistachios, keeping the total quantity same as ½ cup of nuts.
v If you don’t want to add ghee to laddoos, simple dry roast Mawa in the wok and do the rest. It won’t make any major difference to the texture, but the taste Ghee provides is outstanding
v You may not prefer to roll laddoos over sesame seeds, so just add it to grind and use in the mixture.
