Instructions
The making of til ke ladoos require three small steps.
Roasting
Take a pan and put it on low to medium heat. Add the white sesame seeds to the pan. The pan should not be too hot, but should be kept at a low temperature. Roast the sesame seeds over a low heat. Stir at regular intervals. After roasting keep them aside. In the same pan roast oats for 2-3 minutes on medium heat. Keep them stirring you want rawness of oats gone. Once roasted keep them aside to cool. When Oats are cool enough grind them to make oats powder.
Making jaggery syrup
Combine the powdered or grated Jaggery and water in the same pan or kadai. Switch on heat on low. Continue to mix the Jaggery until it dissolves in the water. Simmer the Jaggery and water solution over low heat. It will begin to bubble initially.
Combing the ladoo
After the steps, add powdered oats, sesame seeds, coconut, dried fruits and cardamom powder into the jaggery syrup. Switch off the heat and mix it thoroughly. Begin shaping til laddu from the ingredients while it is still hot. If it’s too hot, wait a minute before forming the laddu. To mould the ladoo, spread some oil or water in your palms. Store the ladoos in an airtight container or serve it and enjoy.
Substitutions
Sweeteners: Most often, jaggery is used as sweetner in til ke ladoo. Jaggery is an unprocessed Indian sugar obtained from cane juice, if you don’t have any jaggery, you can substitute sugar. Oats: If you do not have rolled oats you can use regular instant oats.
Variations
To make it more rich and creamy, you can include khoya into your recipe of til ke ladoo or simply add some milk.
