  2. Transfer to a tray and set aside to cool.
  3. Once cool, crush the white sesame seed coarsely in a mortar and pestle.

How to make chikki

  1. Leave the mixture in a kadhai to cool down for 2-3 minutes.
  2. The mixture shouldn't be that hot that it burns your hands, not should it too cold.
  3. Take a plate and spread ghee on it.
  4. Put the mixture on a plate and roll it thin with the help of a rolling pin.

  4. You can also add saunth powder if you like the taste of saunth.
