In India different types of mukhwas are made at home. My mother always makes fennel seeds, sesame seeds mukhwas at home. I am not too fan of such mukhwas but I like the one available in market. My husband likes homemade mukhwas, so I started making it at home and now even I eat often such homemade mukhwas.
To make Sesame Seeds Mukhwas you will need :-
2 cups sesame seeds (available in Indian Grocery Store)
2 tablespoon lemon juice
1/4 teaspoon turmeric powder
Salt to taste
Take a bowl and wash sesame seeds very well with water 2-3 times because sometimes it may have dirt in it. Drain out all the water from it. Keep it to dry by spreading on cloth or paper napkin. Make sure that all the seeds are dry. Now take this dry sesame seeds and put in bowl. Add lemon juice, turmeric powder and salt to it and mix well. Keep it aside for about 2-3 hours. Then take a heavy bottom pan and roast these sesame seeds on very low flame. Stir it continuously till it get crispy. Be careful while doing this, because sesame seeds splutter a lot and these hot seeds might burn you. Now after all the seeds are properly roasted keep it aside to cool down completely. After it gets cooled down then store in airtight container. It stays good for about 2-3 months.
