PEANUT CHIKKI - Moongphali ki Chikki

HOW TO MAKE PEANUT CHIKKI


INGREDIENTS :

  • 150 gms Jaggery
  • 200 gms Peanuts
  • 1tsp Ghee

METHOD : 

Roast the peanuts in a pan and remove the skin. In a non stick pan, melt 1tsp ghee and saute roasted peanuts for 2 minutes. Put peanuts on a flat surface and with the help of a rolling pin or crusher, coarsely grind it (2 - 3 pieces of 1 peanut).

In the same non stick pan, put pieces of jaggery and add 1tbsp of water. Cook the jaggery till it reaches to the hardening consistency.

To test the consistency of jaggery, take a bowl of cold water and drop a little bit of jaggery caramel in the water for a while. Check if it becomes hard and bristtle.

Once the jaggery caramel reaches to its desired consistency, add peanuts and switch off the flame.

Grease a flat surface and a rolling pin, pour the mixture over the surface. Quickly roll the mixture flat using rolling pin. Let it cool for atleast 1/2 an hour till becomes crisp.

When it cooled, break it into pieces and store it in a airtight container.
