Notes
You can use either black or white sesame seeds for this recipe. Since I did not have the black seeds, I made with white sesame seeds.
You can also add cashew / peanuts in the tempering.
You can add desiccated coconut if you prefer. But I felt it might overpower the sesame seeds flavour. Hence didn't use it.
You can use any oil for tempering. But Sesame oil gives the bet results.
