Thala guli

thalaguli, thala guly, thala bola

Thala Guli (Sinhala: තල ගුලි) also known as thala bola, gingelly or gingili balls or rolls, are traditional Sri Lankan sweetmeats, made with sesame seeds, salt and jaggery (palm sugar). Thala means sesame in Sinhala and guli or bola refers to whether they are made in the shape of a roll/cylinder or a ball/sphere. In northeast Sri Lanka, they are known as ellu urundai or ellurundai (Tamil: எள்ளுருண்டை) which in Tamil translates as sesame balls. Thala Guli is typically prepared from four basic components: white sesame seeds, desiccated coconut, jaggery and salt. Common variations to the traditional recipe include using dates (such as Medjool) or peanuts. Where jaggery is unavailable unrefined sugars, such as muscovado sugar can be used as a replacement.
