ELLU/SESAME SEEDS - JAGGERY KOZHUKKATTAI, how to make sesame seeds and jaggery kozhukkattais

 I have posted 6 kinds of kozhukkattais and also how to make the kozhukkattai maavu/dough. All those informations available here

I have also made maavu with Anil Kozhukkattai flour (but home made dough by grinding is the best) That method is also there in one of the kozhukkattais.

Now I am going to tell you about a kozhukkattai, which is not frequently made in all homes. It is Sesame seeds and Jaggery kozhukkattai. We can use white sesame seeds, but being healthier, I have used black sesame seeds.

and this unique way of closing like butterflies was taught to me by my mother-in-law, so that we can differentiate the kozhukkattais easily.
