In fact, this special Indian sweet recipe comes from our grandmoms who used to spend hours cleaning sesame seeds during winters, then dry roast them on chullahs, mix with jaggery powder, and bind the dough into balls with clarified butter or ghee.

Fond childhood memories there.
Having observed my grandmom do this for us all makes me luckier.

2 tbsp til (sesame seeds)
1/2 tbsp gur or jaggery
1 walnut (akhrot)

Process

  1. Dry roast til. Keep aside.
  2. Take mortar or pestle or any other equipment to mash til, gur, and walnut.
  3. Mash well and roll out into balls.
  4. I could make only 2 with this amount.
  5. Made a delectable healthy sweet.

Can we use the soaked water for millets? Does millet need to be soaked?

Do millets contain anti-nutrients? Yes, they do. In fact, all whole grains, including oats, contain phytates, which bind to minerals and make their absorption difficult for the body. Soaking is the first step toward reducing anti-nutrients from millets. Soak for at least 6-8 hours to make digestion easier. Discard the soaked water and then proceed to the next step of cooking. Remove foam from top to reduce gassy elements from millets.  How long should millet be soaked before cooking? Soaking the millets overnight is a safe practice. Soaking breaks down the phytic acid in millets or for that matter grains and nuts. Phytic acid hinders the absorption of minerals and nutrients in food, including calcium, iron, and zinc. How?

So soaking millets and draining off that soaked water makes it easier on your tummy.  Are millets safe for thyroid? Does
