2. Step 2: Prepare the Jaggery

   Take 1 bowl of fully mashed jaggery (bellam). Ensure the jaggery is properly mashed to mix smoothly with the sesame seeds.

3. Step 3: Blend Sesame Seeds and Jaggery

   Allow the fried sesame seeds to cool down. Then, take a blender and combine both the sesame seeds (nuvvulu) and jaggery (bellam). Blend the mixture for 1 minute until it forms a consistent paste.

4. Step 4: Shape the Laddu

   Immediately after blending, when the mixture is still pliable, shape it into small round laddus (balls). This should be done before the blend hardens to ensure the laddus hold their shape.
