Step 1

Dry roast the sesame seeds in a flat pan on medium heat. Do this till they are a very pale golden color and aromatic.

Step 2

Put the jaggery and water in a pan and melt to form a thick syrup.
Note: To test if it is done drop a little into a bowl of chilled water. If it forms a ball, the syrup is ready. If not, cook some more. Test again till ready.

Step 3

Add the toasted sesame seeds to the syrup and mix well.

Step 4

Add the ghee and cardamom powder and mix well.

Step 5

Take off from heat.

Step 6

Grease your palms and when the mixture is still hot (but cool enough to handle) take enough in your hand to form a golf ball-sized lump.

Step 7

Roll between your palms till smooth. Lay on a greased plate to cool.

Step 8

Repeat till all the mixture is used up. The laddoos will soon harden to candy-like texture.
