Til Gud Mawa Bati Recipe

Step-by-Step Instructions

• STEP 1.Start by dry roasting the sesame seeds in a pan over medium heat. Stir constantly to avoid burning. Roast them for about 3-4 minutes until they turn golden and release a lovely aroma. Once done, set them aside to cool down.

• STEP 1.In the same pan, add the jaggery and a small amount of water. Heat it gently until the jaggery melts completely. Be sure to stir to avoid burning the jaggery. Once the jaggery has dissolved into a syrupy consistency, take it off the heat.

• STEP 2.In another pan, heat the ghee and sauté the mawa (khoya) until it turns golden brown and becomes slightly crumbly. This should take about 5-6 minutes. Add the cardamom powder to the mawa and mix well to infuse the flavor.

• STEP 3.Once the roasted sesame seeds and melted jaggery are ready, add them to the cooked mawa. Mix all the ingredients together thoroughly, ensuring the sesame seeds are well coated with the jaggery-mawa mixture. If you want to add a bit of crunch, sprinkle in some chopped dry fruits at this stage.

• STEP 4.Allow the mixture to cool down just a bit. Once it’s cool enough to handle, grease your palms with a little ghee and shape the mixture into small round balls or "batis." You can also press them slightly to give them a more flattened appearance.

• STEP 5.Your Til Gud Mawa Bati is ready to be enjoyed! These sweet treats are perfect for festivals like Makar Sankranti, or as a special snack any time you need a quick energy boost. They’re sweet, crunchy, and oh-so-delicious!
