हिंदी और अंग्रेजी में तिलकुट बनाने के सबसे आसान तरीका:

तिलकुट के लिए सामग्री
1 . 2 कप कच्चे तिल के बीज
2 . गुड़ के 1 कप
3 . कुछ पानी

प्रक्रिया:

एक गर्म कड़ाही में तिल के बीज भूरा होने तक हल्का भुने जबतक कि हलः सुगंध न आने लगे सोंधा सोंधा।

अब एक कटोरी में भुने हुए तिल को बहार निकल ले और  मिक्सर या ग्राइंडर  का उपयोग कर अछे से मसल डाले, कूट डाले।

अब अलग किसी करहि में गुड का चासनी बनाइये, जिसे पागभी कहते हैं।

चासनी बन्ने के बाद कुते हुए तिल को चासनी में दल कर हिलाए , और अब करहि को आंच से उतर कर खूब मिलाये जिससे तिल और चासनी पूरी तरह से मिल जाये।

बिना देर किये हुए मिश्रान को किसी थाली या समतल जगह पे फैला दे जिअसे कि तस्वीर में हैं.

और अब मनचाहे आकर में कट कर छोड़ दे।  ठंडा होते तक तिलकुट कर्क हो जाएगा।
आपका तिलकुट तैयार हैं।


Ingredients for Tilkut
1. 2 cups raw sesame seed(buy from whole foods ,they are the best)
2. 1 cup of jaggery
3. some water

Process:
In a hot wok dry roast the sesame seeds until brown. Cosntant stirring is required otherwise they burn very fast which will give a bitter taste to the bars.

This is how they will look.It takes about 6-7 minutes.The aroma of roasted sesame seeds will be everywhere in the house.Transfer them into a bowl to avoid getting further roasted.

Put them in food processor.If you dont have one you can use mixer or grinder .The whole idea is to grind the seeds very course not fine.If nothing than mortar and pestle will also do.That is what my maa used .

Heat up a non stick pan ,add jaggery and little bit water like 1/2 cup and bring it to boil.Remove the dirt with a spoon.Now keep boiling for some time until you get the consistency of the liquid very stringy and bubbling .

To test if the jaggery syrup has attained the desired consistency you can take some cold water in bowl and pour some bubbling liquid .You will see that as soon as you drop the liquid in the cold water it will from into a thick mass like caramelized candy.This step in very crucial as formation of proper bars depends upon how your jaggery syrup is.

If you try to stir with a spoon the mass will stick into it and with your fingers you can easily form a ball of jaggery.That is when you know your syrup is done.

Now pour the syrup into ground sesame seeds ,not all at once but little by little.In the mean time keep stirring the sesame seeds powder so that you will get an idea how much more syrup you need.Once you think you have poured enough syrup ,you can stop and give it a final stir.

Mix properly.You will have to be very fast because if the mixture cools down even a little then the jaggery syrup will crystallize.So keep every thing prepared ahead of time.

Transfer it into the aluminum paper.
Dip your hands in cold water and start flatting it out.Keep it about 1/2 inch thick.Let it cool down a little .

Cut it in what ever shape you like.I made them in a square shape.

Once completely cooled down you can store them in an air tight container.It stays well for 2-3 weeks.However it is better not to make in large batches because the oil in sesame seeds can go rancid if kept for a long time.
