Happy Makar Sankranti everyone.
I think today most of us must have prepared many sweets from til. And, I prepared chikki :). It is very simple and fast to make. Sharing my sweet little recipe.
Let us start cooking!!!
Ingredients:
Til (Sesame seeds): 1 cup
Sugar: 1 cup
Pistachio: 10-12 (thinly sliced)
Almonds: 15-16 (thinly sliced)
Green Cardamom: 4-5 (powdered)
Saffron strands: 7-8
Ghee (Clarified butter): 2-3 tbsp
Method:
1. Be ready with all the ingredients.
2. Grease a plate or any board on which you will spread the chikki; with ghee.
3. Take a heavy bottomed kadai.
4. Dry roast the sesame seeds for some time or until they become a bit bigger in size.
5. Take them out in a plate.
6. Now add ghee to the kadai and heat it.
7. Add sugar.
8. Continuously stir the sugar until it melts.
9. As soon as the sugar melts switch off the flame and add til, pistachios, almonds, saffron strands and cardamom powder.
(Blurred click :-( )
10. Mix well.
11. Put the mixture on the greased board.
12. With the help of greased rolling pin, flatten the mixture thin or of any thickness you like. (Could not click pics as I was in a hurry ;-) ).
13. Make cut marks when it is hot only.
(Made heart shapes with cookie cutter).
14. When it gets cooled completely take out the pieces.
15. Enjoy crispy til ckikki.
16. You can store this in an air-tight container for 1 month.
Tips:
1. Be careful not to over roast the til otherwise it will become bitter.
2. The quantity of dry fruits can be adjusted as per your taste.
3. You can add or remove dry fruits of your choice.
4. I have used white sesame seeds. Other variants can also be used and cooked in the same way.
5. Make sure you grease the board and rolling pin properly.
6. You have to be very fast in rolling the chikkis since it cools very quickly and then you will be left with very thick chikkis.
See you soon with a new recipe till then Happy Cooking!!!
