Sesame and jaggery truffles

 

This one is strictly mum’s cooking.

Would love to direct you to her cooking blog but she hasn't created one yet so let’s dive right into my mum’s recipe on here until I make these myself someday soon. But in my defence, managing time before the syrupy, caramelised jaggery solidifies, that's a skill on a different level I don't think I can master without making a mess of the workplace.

 Ingredients:

Roasted sesame seeds

Jaggery

Procedure:

Melt jaggery until it caramelizes.

Pour the caramelised jaggery into roasted sesame seeds and roll them into round balls. 

I’ve totally negated the use of jaggery with the powdered sugar falling through the sieve for the action shot, as I prefer jaggery to sugar due to jaggery's enriched nutrition content. But it's all fair in the photography of food because I got a mountain of magical, snowy-looking sesame truffles:)  Reminds me a little of Narnia.
