How to make Sesame Chikki


This post is dedicated to my friend Isabel with whom I share a fondness for this traditional Indian sweet.
 
Put one and a half table spoons of sugar into a saucepan. Heat it over medium heat until the sugar has melted stiring constantly to avoid lumps of burned sugar. Add four spoons of sesame seeds. Mix quickly with the hot sugar liquid and turn off the heat.

Put a little bit of ghee (butter) on to the working top and onto a rolling pin. Put about a fifth part of the paste on the table and form a patty (careful it’s hot!). Roll the paste with the rolling pin until the paste is very thin. You have to do this quickly otherwise the paste gets too hard and sticky.
As soon as it has cooled down it is hard and you can break them into smaller pieces, ready to eat. Enjoy!
