Til Gajak is a traditional Indian sweet that embodies the rich confectionery heritage of the subcontinent. This beloved dessert is a family favorite at festivals, weddings, and celebrations.
Dry roast the sesame seeds in a skillet over medium heat, stirring continuously until they turn light golden and aromatic, about 3-4 minutes. Remove and set aside.
In the same skillet, dry roast the peanuts over medium heat for 4-5 minutes until crunchy and slightly darkened. Cool, then rub off skins and coarsely crush.
Add ghee to a heavy-bottomed saucepan over low heat, then add jaggery. Stir constantly and melt until the jaggery is fully dissolved and starts bubbling—do not let it burn.
To test the jaggery syrup stage, drop a bit into a bowl of water—if it forms a hard ball, it is ready. Immediately lower the heat and stir in the roasted sesame seeds, crushed peanuts, and cardamom powder. Mix thoroughly.
Quickly pour the hot mixture onto a greased sheet or parchment. Flatten evenly with a rolling pin while warm, then use a knife to score into squares or rhombuses. Allow to fully cool before breaking apart and serving.
