Hi guys! How are you all? Alhamdulillah, I’m doing very well. Today I’ve come to share another recipe with you all. Today I’ll share a very tasty naru (sweet ball) recipe with you. Children especially love sweet foods. So come on, let’s share the recipe together! 🍬✨
Ingredients (White sesame sweet ball ):
1.White sesame seeds – 1 cup
2.Jaggery (gur) or sugar – ¾ cup
3.Water – 2–3 tablespoons (for melting jaggery or sugar)

5.Ghee (clarified butter) – 1 tablespoon
6.Cardamom powder – ½ teaspoon (for fragrance).
Making process :
( white sesame sweet ball)
Roast the sesame seeds:
Heat a pan on low flame and dry roast the white sesame seeds until they turn light golden and give a nice aroma. Be careful not to burn them. Then take them out and set aside.
Prepare the jaggery syrup:
In the same pan, add jaggery and 2–3 tablespoons of water. Cook on low heat until the jaggery melts completely and becomes slightly sticky. (You can check by dropping a bit in water — if it forms a soft ball, it’s ready.)
Add other ingredients:
Add the roasted sesame seeds, grated coconut (if using), cardamom powder, and ghee into the jaggery syrup. Mix everything quickly and well.
Shape the balls:
When the mixture is still warm (not hot), take a small portion in your hand and roll it into small round balls (narus).
Cool and store:
Let them cool completely. Once cooled, store the white sesame sweet balls in an airtight container.

2.Sugar – ½ cup (you can adjust as per taste)
3.Ghee (clarified butter) – 2 tablespoons
4.Milk – 2–3 tablespoons (to help bind the mixture)
5.Cardamom powder – ½ teaspoon (for fragrance)
6.Grated coconut – ¼ cup (optional, for extra taste and texture)
7.Chopped dry fruits (like cashew or raisin) – optional, for garnish.

Roast the almonds:
Heat a pan on low flame and dry roast the almonds for 3–4 minutes until they release a light aroma. Let them cool completely.
Grind the almonds:
Once cooled, grind the roasted almonds into a fine or slightly coarse powder (as you prefer).
Prepare the mixture:
In a pan, heat ghee on low flame. Add the almond powder and roast it for 2–3 minutes while stirring continuously.
Add sugar and milk:
Add sugar and a few tablespoons of milk to the mixture. Mix well. The milk will help bind everything together and give a soft texture.
Add flavor:
Sprinkle in the cardamom powder and, if you like, some grated coconut or chopped dry fruits. Mix everything well.
Shape the sweet balls:
Turn off the heat and let the mixture cool slightly. When it’s warm (not hot), take small portions and roll them into round balls with your hands.

Let the almond sweet balls cool completely. Once set, store them in an airtight container.
