SIGILI URUNDAI / CHIMILI URUNDAI/SWEET TIL LADDOO

Here is a traditional dessert-

An ethnic dish  made in South Indian homes ...

(mainly Tamil Brahmin homes)

Usually ,this one is not available off the counter

in sweet shops and restaurants...

It is a very healthy dish which has the goodness 

of jaggery and sesame seeds...

In the days of yore this dish 

called for a lot of physical  effort 

like rubbing, pounding etc...

but now,we can prepare them effortlessly...

INGREDIENTS

SESAME SEEDS( DESKINNED) -     2 CUPS
(You can get deskinned ones off the shelf)

JAGGERY (POWDERED)-1 1/2 CUPS

METHOD

• Powder jaggery in a mixer.
• Roast the sesame seeds/ellu/til in a hot pan till they splutter.
• Now powder the sesame seeds in a mixer.
• Mix the powders well.
• Now, shape  1 inch sized balls/laddoos /urundais with the mixture.
• You need not add any ghee/oil etc because sesame seeds themselves have oil in them and this binds the laddoos.
