Nutty, crunchy and delicate sesame seeds are the cheaper alternative to Almonds in India.
You will need:-
- 1 cup cleaned sesame seeds ( white or black ) I used white
- ½ cup pitted dates
- ¼ cup grated jaggery
- 2 tablespoon chopped almonds
- 2 tablespoon melon seeds ( Gujarati - Magajtari na biya )
- 1 tablespoon sesame oil
- 1 tablespoon dry ginger powder
- 1 tablespoon white poppy seeds ( Gujarati - KhusKhus )
Method:-
Roast sesame seeds lightly for about 2-3 minutes in non stick pan.
Let it cool.
Place sesame seeds in a grinder and grind for few seconds.
Now add pitted dates and grind for few seconds.
Followed by grated jaggery,chopped almonds,melon seeds and white poppy seeds and grind one more time. The mixture has to be a coarse.
Add sesame oil and grind the mixture again for 3-4 seconds.
Transfer sesame mixture in another bowl, add ginger powder and mix well.
You can store straight away in air tight jar, or make small balls. Choice is yours.
Enjoy every morning by poping one in your mouth......:)
Note :- If you are using black sesame seeds, instead of adding poppy seeds in the mixture leave it for garnish. Or coat on kachariyu balls.
