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.
