Simple and Delicious Ellu Mittai Recipe Preparation Steps
If you’re looking for a traditional Indian sweet that’s both healthy and easy to make, then the Ellu Mittai is a perfect choice. This sesame seed sweet is not only delicious but also packed with nutrients. Preparing Ellu Mittai involves a few simple steps that anyone can follow, making it an excellent treat for festivals, celebrations, or just when you want to satisfy your sweet tooth. To start, gather your ingredients: white sesame seeds, jaggery (or sugar), and a few optional spices for added flavor. The first step in the Ellu Mittai recipe preparation is to lightly roast the sesame seeds on low heat until they turn golden brown and release their nutty aroma. Be sure to keep stirring to prevent burning.
Once the sesame seeds are ready, the next important step in the Ellu Mittai recipe preparation steps is to prepare the jaggery syrup. In a separate pan, melt the jaggery with a little water, stirring continuously until it reaches a soft ball consistency when dropped in cold water. This is crucial for the perfect texture of the sweet. Once the syrup is ready, mix in the roasted sesame seeds quickly to ensure they are evenly coated before the mixture cools down. After thoroughly mixing, you can shape the mixture into small balls or flatten it out to cut into desired shapes once it cools. Your homemade Ellu Mittai will not only be a delightful treat but also a healthy snack option packed with calcium and protein. Enjoy this traditional sweet during festivals or share it with friends and family for a taste of authentic Indian flavors!
