Tips to make the perfect Peanut sesame laddu recipe:

• Dry roasting of sesame seeds and peanuts over a low flame will not only remove moisture in it, but its flavour is also enhanced. Sometimes green cardamoms do not get well crushed if we don’t crush them manually, as we are putting them along with sesame seeds there’s a chance of oil oozing out before cardamoms get crushed.
• Grind sesame seeds in small intervals of 10-30 seconds because it might get mushy or oil might ooze out.
• Grind sesame seeds and peanuts separately because sesame seeds get ground fast.
• For thick jaggery syrup it is enough to add only 1 cup of water to 1 bowl of jaggery else it takes much time to thicken.
