Ellu orundai (Sesame balls)

Ellu orundai (Sesame balls)- Preparation 15 to 20 mins
This won't be like as we are getting in shops. I tried it in small quantity with more jaggery so it came like in shop but i like the way my mom used to make which is with less jaggery coating. Next time i have to try that way. I used black sesame seed to make this ellu orundai. I didn't do with perfect measurement.

Ingredients:-
Sesame seeds - 100 gms (cleaned)
Jaggery - 1/4 ball or melted jaggery syrup 1/2 cup
Broken cashew - 1 tbsp
ghee - 1/4 tsp

Preparation method:-
Dry roast the sesame seed in low or medium flame.  When it starts spluttering and nice aroma comes switch of the flame.
Melt the jaggery with water. Filter and remove the dirt (if any) and boil the syrup to thick consistency (next to sticky consistency but less than 1 string consistency)
When roasted sesame is cool. Grind it in a mixer.

To the powdered sesame seed add cashew pieces, ghee, little jaggery syrup and mix. Try making small balls. If the syrup is not sufficient add some more syrup and make the balls.

Note: while make balls apply little ghee in your palms so that the mixture won't stick in your hand.
