Crumble the jaggery and keep aside. -In a heavy bottomed pan, put in the ghee and after the ghee melts, add the jaggery and allow it to melt on low heat. -Once the jaggery melts, stir in the milk (the milk helps to soften the chikki, so if you don’t want a chikki that is hard to bite into, do not forget this step). -After the jaggery bubbles for a few seconds, you need to put in the roasted sesame seeds, the cardamom powder and mix well until all the sesame seeds are coated with the jaggery. -Turn off the heat and transfer this mixture onto a tray lined with baking parchment.
