Description
Nuvvula Chekkalu are a traditional Indian sweet made primarily from sesame seeds (nuvvulu). They are a popular delicacy, especially during festivals like Sankranti.
Ingredients: The main ingredient is sesame seeds, which are roasted and ground into a paste. Jaggery or sugar is added to sweeten the mixture.
Preparation: The sesame paste and sweetener are mixed together to form a dough. This dough is then rolled into thin sheets and cut into small diamond-shaped pieces. These pieces are then deep-fried in ghee or oil until they turn golden brown.
Taste and Texture: Nuvvula Chekkalu have a nutty flavor from the sesame seeds and a slightly crunchy texture. They are often enjoyed with a cup of hot coffee or tea.
These sweet treats are not only delicious but also have nutritional benefits, as sesame seeds are a good source of fiber, protein, and healthy fats.
