Method (Dry Fruit Gajak Recipe)
- First of all, put sesame seeds in a heavy bottom pan and fry on low flame for 3-4 minutes, until a light aroma starts coming out. Keep in mind that the sesame seeds should not burn, just turn light golden.
- In the same pan, add some ghee and lightly fry cashews, almonds and pistachios. Then take them out and keep them aside.
- Now add 1 tablespoon ghee in the pan and add grated jaggery in it. Melt the jaggery while stirring continuously on low flame.
- When the jaggery starts bubbling, test it by putting one drop in cold water. If it hardens and becomes hard pieces, then understand that the syrup is ready.
- Now add roasted sesame seeds, dry fruits, raisins and cardamom powder and mix quickly. Do this step quickly because jaggery hardens quickly.
- Pour the mixture on a greased plate or smooth surface and spread it with a rolling pin. Keep the thickness as per your choice. When the mixture is slightly hot, cut square or rectangular pieces with a knife.
- When it cools down, separate the Gajak pieces. Keep it in an airtight container. It remains crisp for 15–20 days.
