Sweet treat! Til Laddus.

TIL LADDUS!
This was my first try at making til laddus on Makara Sankranti (14th January 2010).
Making til laddus is easy but you have to be very quick especially to make laddus when the mixture is still hot in the pan. Your palms really burn while making the small balls but once they are done ,they are delicious!!!!

You will need:
1 cup til
2 cups jaggery
1/2 cup peanut
1/2 cup water

Method:

First dry roast both til (to golden brown colour) and the peanuts in a pan.

Remove the roasted til and the peanuts and keep aside.

Into the same pan add water and boil it and add the jaggery and mix it till it melts .

To this add the roasted til and peanuts. Mix properly.

From here on it's a very tricky situation. Make small balls(laddus) from the mixture immedietly when it is hot . You can use some ghee or oil to grease your palm. If the mixture cools you won't be able to make the balls as the incredients wont come together or stick.

And the til laddus are ready to RELISH!!!!
