gajak recipe | Jaggery sweets

My notes

I did this last year in an Instagram live, so tried several times before. Here are some points to note before making.

  • Do the process in low flame as we are handling jaggery syrup with low water concentration. The stages pass quickly and can get burnt easily. No kidding, so strictly low heat only.
  • You will definitely know the stage when to be careful as you get a pleasant jaggery flavor clearly.
  • Adding a tiny pinch of cooking soda is optional but it gives a soft texture. Do not add more than mentioned.
  • Make sure to roast the sesame well as it’s the only way we are cooking.
  • You can rinse and dry sesame seeds in a clean kitchen cloth and dry in shade if you feel it has impurities.
