Directions
Roast the peanuts and roughly crush them into small pieces.
Roast the sesame seeds in a pan over low to medium heat until fragrant. Stir occasionally. This will take 2 to 3 minutes.
Once ready, remove them from the heat and set them aside on a plate. Let them cool.
Grind 80% of the sesame seeds. Reserve the remaining 20% to decorate the outside of the ladoos.
Grate the jaggery if it is not already powdered.
Turn off the heat and add the mixture. Mix well.
While the mixture is still warm, take a handful, squeeze it firmly and shape it into a ladoo.
Place the 20% sesame seeds on a plate.
Roll the ladoos in sesame seeds so that they adhere to the entire surface.
Store the ladoos in an airtight, dry container.
