Til Ke Gajak
Ingredients

1 cup sesame
3/4 cup jaggery
1/2 tsp cardamom powder 
2 tbsp ghee 

Method

Roast sesame on low flame stirring continuously to avoid it from spluttering out of the pan. Boil jaggery in 1/2 cup water to form thick syrup. When done, check its consistency by putting a drop of the syrup in a dish of cold water. If the drop stays firm the consistency is right. Add the roasted sesame to the syrup. On a rolling board, spread a film of oil and spread the sesame-jaggery mixture. Flatten it to 1 cm thickness. When the mixture is sufficiently cooled, cut into square pieces. Store in an airtight container.
