Step 2

In a bowl add roasted sesame seeds, desiccated coconut, hurigadale/ fried gram Powder and cardamom powder and mix well.

Step 3

In a pan heat ghee & add Jaggery. It melts and turns frothy at this point switch off the flame, and immediately add it to the prepared hurigadale/ fried gram mixture.

Step 4

Mix well to form soft dough. Take lemon sized dough & prepare TAMBITTU / ladoo.

If the mixture becomes dry then heat 1 tbsp of ghee and add it to the mixture.
