What it is

Ellu urundai is the Tamil sesame ball: toasted sesame bound with jaggery and pressed into rounds. It is traditionally made in the cold months, around Karthigai and Thai Pongal, and kept in a tin for whoever wanders past.

This one uses black sesame, which is nuttier, darker and slightly more bitter than white, with the jaggery pulling it back to sweet. It is firm and dense, so one is usually enough. Choosing between sesame sweets? Black for a deeper taste; Durga Sweets & Snacks White Sesame Ball for a lighter one; Charliee Laddu Black Sesame for a bigger pack.

Tip: Share them out with filter coffee after lunch. The bitterness of the coffee suits the jaggery.

Goes well with: Durga Sweets & Snacks White Sesame Ball, Suswaad Adhirasam, Narasu's Delight Filter Coffee
