Description - Step 1

Step 1: Prepare the Sesame Filling

Dry roast the sesame seeds on low heat until they turn lightly golden and release a nutty aroma. Allow them to cool slightly, then grind coarsely. Transfer to a bowl and mix with grated jaggery and cardamom powder. The mixture should feel crumbly yet moist enough to hold together when pressed.
