Notes

Tips for Ellu Urundai Recipe

  1. Dry roast sesame seeds until it pop up and a nice smell wafts. Ensure not to burn it, when roasting otherwise the laddu tastes bitter.
  2. I used white sesame seeds only. If preferred, you can use both white and black sesame seeds in equal quantity.
  3. Adjust jaggery as per sweetness required for this Sesame Laddu Recipe.
  4. Jaggery syrup consistency is very important, the syrup should be medium hard (firm) that can be rolled into a ball.
  5. Also, don't cook it furthermore than the firm ball stage, else the laddu turns chewy.
  6. The addition of cardamom powder lends a nice flavor, but it's optional.
  7. If the laddu mixture cools down, it cannot be rolled. So do the rolling quickly.
  8. To bear the heat while rolling, powdered sugar or rice flour, or cold water can be greased in your hands.
  9. If the mixture cools or harden, just heat it for 2 to 3 minutes on low flame. The jaggery melts and loosen, so it can be rolled easily.
  10. The same mixture can be poured into a tray, greased with ghee, and cut into squares. This is called sesame burfi and you need not worry about the heat when rolling.
  11. This Ellu Urundai Recipe stays good for 15 days when stored in hygienic conditions.
