Chikki can be made with a myriad of ingredients like puffed rice, peanuts, chana dal, dry fruits etc. The sticky agent also, the sweetner is generally in the form of jaggery and sugar. While some chikkis are difficult to make, some like the murmura chikki are very easy. Listing down some popular chikki recipes from our website :

Dry roast on a slow flame for 8 minutes or until it is aromatic and changes color slightly while stirring continuously. It is important to stir continuously as sesame seeds tend to burn and give a bitter taste.

Mix well and cook on a slow flame for 4 minutes, while stirring continuously. The jaggery syrup must reach a softball stage. That means when you pour a drop of jaggery syrup on the table it has to stay in the shape of a drop and not spread. You can also check the consistency by adding drops of jaggery syrup into a bowl containing water. Once you remove the jaggery out it should be sticky and have the softball shape.

Add the sesame seeds. Jaggery and sesame are heat-producing ingredients, giving warmth to our body, This makes the til ke laddu a winter special. Many people even prefer using black sesame seeds but, I personally feel the white ones are the best and nuttier and rustic in flavor.

But what is the gram weight of the ladu for which you said 62 calories ??
Tarla Dalal
March 13, 2025, midnight
We don?t weigh the weight of the food we cook. We either show portion size like dosa, ladoo etc or estimate the amount a serving size is. The key to take from the analysis of a recipe is if it''s healthy and fits into your lifestyle. When in doubt, eat less of that recipe.
