Til chikki is one of the easiest crackers you could ever make and it
requires no baking. These chikkis are very nutritious because of the
combination of sesame seeds and jaggery, both of which are good sources
of iron and minerals.
Ingredients
3/4 cup sesame seeds (til), 1/2 cup chopped jaggery (gur), 1 1/2 tsp ghee
How to make
Heat
a deep non-stick pan, add the sesame seeds and dry roast on a medium
flame for 5 to 6 minutes. Remove and keep aside. Heat the ghee in the
same deep non-stick pan, add the jaggery, mix well and cook on a medium
flame for 3 minutes, while stirring continuously.
Switch off the
flame, add the roasted sesame seeds and mix very well. When the mixture
is ready, put the entire mixture over the back of a greased thali or a
smooth stone surface. Roll it out thinly into a 200 mm. (8") diameter
circle using a greased rolling pin.
Cut them into 38 mm. (1.
5"x1. 5") square pieces using a sharp knife. Allow it to cool
completely. Once cooled, store in an air-tight container.
