1) Rub some ghee on
the plate or tray and set aside. Also, apply ghee to the back of a steel bowl or tumbler.
2) Lightly toast the sesame seeds over a low flame, stirring continuously for up to 2 minutes. Switch off the flame once they
start to splutter. Transfer to a plate and leave them to cool.
3) Roast dry coconut.
4) Coarsely grind the peanuts and toasted sesame seeds
separately.
5) Mix the ground peanuts, sesame
seeds, cardamom powder and salt
together.
6) In a heavy-bottomed wide pan or over a medium flame, add the ghee followed by the
jaggery and milk. Once the jaggery has fully melted, switch off the flame.
7) Tip in the peanut and sesame mixture immediately and mix
everything together.
7) Transfer to the greased plate or
tray and spread evenly with a spatula. Sprinkle the toasted coconut and press the warm mixture down with the help of
the ghee coated steel bowl. Continue patting until the mixture spreads evenly.
9) Using a knife, make deep evenly cut to form bite-sized squares.
After cool down, remove a bite-sized square, known as a ‘vadi’. Transfer to an
airtight container for longer shelf life.
