2. In a sauce pan,heat the crushed jaggery ,water and ghee till the jaggery dissolves. Strain the mixture to get rid of impurities,and tip the jaggery mixture back in the sauce pan and let it come to a rolling boil.
3. Keep a small bowl of water ready,to check the consistency of the syrup.
4. Let the jaggery boil for 4-5 minutes,Check the consistency by dropping of drop of syrup into the water and if it stays firm without dissolving,that's the right consistency. Take the syrup out of fire.
5. Add the sesame seeds,mix well and gather into one big mass using the spoon. Tip into another bowl.
6.Rub some ghee into your palm,take a spoonful of the seed mixture and form into balls.
