Jaggery & Sesame Chikki Recipe recipe by @earth_oven_bakery

INGREDIENTS:

1⁄2 cup sesame seeds
1⁄3 cup powdered jaggery or shakkar
1 tsp ghee
1⁄3 tsp sea salt and a sprinkle of cayenne pepper (optional)

STEPS:

1. Grease an oven tray or an 8x8 baking tin with a some ghee or oil and set aside
2. Toast sesame seeds in a pan over medium-low heat until golden-brown and set aside to cool
3. Add ghee and jaggery in a pan over medium heat and keep stirring. The jaggery will quickly change colour (become a darker caramelized colour) and start bubbling
4. A quick and easy way to check if itʼs caramelized, is to use a spoon to drop a few drops into a glass of cold water. If it solidifies and forms a ball, itʼs ready
5. Turn the heat off and quickly stir in the roasted sesame seeds
6. Pour onto the greased pan and smooth out to form an even layer
7. Optional: Sprinkle sea salt and cayenne pepper over the top for some extra zing
8. Let it cool completely and cut by scoring the chikki with a sharp knife and breaking it along the ridges using your hands
9. Store in an airtight container
