Ingredients

  • 1 cup sesame seeds
  • Salt , to taste
  • Vegetable oil , for toasting

Directions

1

In a dry frying pan or skillet, toast the sesame seeds over medium heat.

2

Stir the seeds continuously to ensure even toasting and prevent burning. The seeds are ready when they turn golden brown and release a nutty aroma.

3

Remove the pan from the heat and let the toasted sesame seeds cool for a few minutes.

4

Sprinkle salt over the seeds according to your taste preference and mix well.

5

Heat a small amount of vegetable oil in the same pan over low heat.

6

Add the toasted sesame seeds to the pan and stir to coat them evenly with the oil. This step helps to enhance the flavor and crunchiness of the seeds.

7

Remove the pan from the heat and let the kondowole cool completely before serving.
