Ingredients
- ½ cup Sesame Seeds
- 1 tbsp Ghee/Clarified Butter
- ¾ cup Jaggery
- 1 tbsp Cocoa Powder
Instructions
- In a non-stick pan, roast ½ cup of sesame seeds over medium flame till they turn slightly golden brown in color and release a nutty aroma (approx.2-4 mins). Transfer the roasted sesame seeds in a bowl.
- In the same pan, heat 1 tbsp of Ghee/Clarified Butter. Then add ¾ cup roughly chopped jaggery and while stir it constantly till the jaggery melts completely (around 3-4 minutes).
- It will start forming bubbles and become slightly dark in color. Now check the consistency of the jaggery by adding few drops of it in cold water. It should form into a soft ball. Do not overcook the jaggery. At this point add 1 tbsp cocoa powder and mix well with the jaggery.
- Turn off the heat, add the roasted sesame seeds, and mix until well combined.
- Now immediately transfer this chikki mixture evenly onto a silicon mat or a well-greased surface.
- With the help of a spatula, spread this mixture as thinly and evenly as you can while it is still hot.
- Cut the chikki asymmetrically or at least make indents on chikki using a sharp knife. Let it cool completely for 2-3 hrs. The chikki will become crispier/brittle as it cools and will snap easily.
- Serve and enjoy!
