Heat a heavy-bottomed pan on medium heat and dry roast the sesame seeds for 3β4 minutes until they are golden and aromatic. Be careful not to burn them. Remove from the pan and let them cool.
In the same pan, lightly roast the almonds for 2β3 minutes until they become fragrant. Allow them to cool and then chop them into small pieces.
In a separate pan, add the jaggery and water. Heat on low to medium flame, stirring continuously to melt the jaggery and form a smooth syrup. Ensure the syrup has a sticky consistency, but it should not form a hard caramel. To test, drop a small amount into cold water β it should form a soft ball.
Turn off the heat and quickly mix in the roasted sesame seeds, chopped almonds, and cardamom powder. Stir everything well to ensure even coating.
Allow the mixture to cool slightly until itβs safe to handle but not fully hardened. Grease your palms with a small amount of water and shape the mixture into small, tight laddus (round balls).
Repeat the process until all the mixture is used. If the mixture hardens too much in the pan, gently reheat it for a few seconds to soften.
Let the laddus cool completely before storing them in an airtight container. They will keep for up to 2 weeks at room temperature.
