Ingredients
 

  • 500 grm tal - sesame seeds
  • 250 grm variyari - fennel seeds
  • 15 grm ajwain
  • 1 cup roasted gotli
  • Turmeric
  • Salt
  • Lemon juice
  • Water as required

Instructions

  • In a mixing bowl, add 500 grams of sesame seeds (tal) and mix in 1 tablespoon of turmeric, 1 tablespoon plus 1 teaspoon of salt, 2 tablespoons of lemon juice, and 1 ladle of water. Mix well and set aside.
  • In another bowl, combine 250 grams of fennel seeds (variyari) with 1 teaspoon of turmeric, 1 tablespoon of salt, and 2 ladles of water. Mix well and set aside.
  • Next, place carom seeds (ajwain) on a plate, and mix in ½ teaspoon of turmeric, ½ teaspoon of salt, and 1 tablespoon of water. Mix well and set aside.
  • Dry everything under a fan for 5–6 hours or in direct sunlight for 2–3 hours.
  • Heat a kadai (deep pan) thoroughly. Roast the sesame seeds in batches—take ¼ cup at a time, press them slightly with a cloth, and roast on medium flame for about 30 seconds until crispy.
  • Similarly, roast the fennel seeds in batches. Add one batch to the kadai, press slightly, and roast on medium flame for about 1 minute until they are properly roasted and crispy.
  • Roast the carom seeds in the same manner.
  • In a mixing bowl, combine the roasted sesame seeds, fennel seeds, and carom seeds. Sieve the mixture to remove any excess turmeric and salt.
  • Finally, add 1 cup of roasted gotli and mix everything well.
  • Your mukhwas is ready. Store it in an airtight container.

Notes

  • The proportion of variyari should be half that of tal.
  • Adding lemon juice to the soaked tal enhances its taste.
  • Variyari is slightly thicker, so it requires more water when coating it with turmeric and salt.
  • Dry all mukhwas ingredients thoroughly. There should be no moisture, or else it will not become crisp.
  • Roast tal in batches. Keep the flame on medium while roasting; it only takes 30 seconds to roast one batch of tal.
  • Roast variyari on a medium flame, also in batches.
  • Sieve the mukhwas to remove any excess turmeric and salt.
  • Adding some roasted gotli enhances the flavor of the mukhwas.
