Crispy Sesame Brittle Thins or Til Ki Gajak

Enjoying my success at Peanut Gajak, I tried my hands at Til-Ki-Gajak/ Sesame Brittle.

The Wall ....

and a Stack !!!!

Last night my mom-in-law called me up and gave tips on spreading the sesame syrup on greased marble chakla. But in excitement of making, I forgot to grease the rolling pin and while spreading, lot of sesame got stuck with the rolling pin. This communication gap became a blessing in disguise when after couple of minutes, I was making Rewris (sesame balls) to use the syrup. Lol...at times selective listening is fruitful !

Add lightly crushed fennel seeds, cardamom powder, sesame seeds, cashew and almond halves.

Give all the ingredients a quick stir and pour the on the foil/marble chakla. 

Press the chikki with the back of steel ladder/rolling pin to make a thin layer and spread it evenly.

Let the chikkis dry for a while, cut it in desired shape when still warm with pizza cutter or knife.

On the other hand, quickly make small balls of the sesame and sugar mix to get delectable rewris or sesame candies. Can also replace jaggery for sugar to make gajak and rewris. My lot was immediatly finished, but if left with  gajak and rewris, store in air tight container.

Yessss , I did it !!!!!!

Add another feather in your cap for trying, making and succeeding at making gajak and rewris at home.
