How To Fry/Roast 'Simsim' | Sesame Seeds Snack

5 from 1 vote
Simsim is what I grew up eating. Therefore, I had to introduce it to the children who had no clue about. Every little girl in the village had to learn to roast simsim well and grind it into simsim paste for making sauces. It provides good protein for the body and tastes delicious. It is a quick snack to grab to relieve hunger.
