Lightly roast the black sesame seeds over medium flame for a few minutes or until the light brown in colour.

Step 2

Once done, keep the seeds aside to cool and then repeat the process with the almonds.

Once the jaggery powder is melted, mix it thoroughly with the roasted black sesame seeds and almonds.
