Sesame Seed Ladoo is a winter classic prepared during Makar Sankranti, where technique decides texture more than ingredients. Slow-roasted sesame seeds provide warmth and aroma, while jaggery binds without hardening when cooked to the right stage. This recipe focuses on roasting cues, grinding texture, and syrup timing so the ladoos stay soft, nutty, and balanced instead of crumbly or sticky.

Description - Step 1

Seed Roasting

Place a heavy-bottomed pan on low heat and add the sesame seeds. Stir continuously until the heat spreads evenly and the seeds' colour gradually changes. As they turn pale golden, they release a nutty aroma and begin to crackle softly. Remove immediately and spread on a plate to stop carryover cooking.
