Ingredients

• 1 cup - Sesame Seeds
• 1 cup - Jaggery (gud)
• 1 tablespoon - Coconut Oil

Instructions

1. Toast the sesame seeds on low heat. Remove and let cool.
2. Put coconut oil in the pan and then melt the jaggery over low heat. Stir constantly until it caramelizes. The caramelization test is to drop a piece of gooey jaggery into a cold glass of water. If it is chewy, then cook for a bit longer. Once it ’s hard in the water, then it’s ready. Note: water is used for the test only, don’t put it in your jaggery mixture
3. Mix the sesame seeds into the melted jaggery. Work quickly to incorporate it all and then spread on to the silicone mat.
4. Put another silicone mat on top and roll it out as thin as possible. You have to work fast when rolling.
5. ▪ While still warm, cut into pieces and let sit to cool completely.
