Reposted from @pickletopilaf Til er Naru . Was craving something sweet and wasn't in a mood to go out and get some mishti from the local sweet shop. It's raining incessantly since yesterday here and even the thought of going out was out of question. Hence looked around the kitchen to find something sweet and after a few dates and raisins, discovered a packet of white sesame seeds lying on the kitchen shelf. Had recently bought a kilo of jaggery for the Kancha Tok that I made for @historywali 's #HistoryOnAPlate . So without wasting any more time, tried my hands in making these sesame laddoos, recalling the steps from what I had seen my mother doing during Lakshmi Puja. The trick was to ensure that the jaggery doesn't get overcooked (we call it Paak in Bengali) in order to prevent the final product from being too hard. Fortunately, the narus (yes, that's the name by which we call these tiny spheres of delish) turned out quite nice! The jaggery provided the much needed sweetness while the slight bitterness and crunch of sesame highlighted the sweet and texture of the naru. .
