Peanut Chikki

Darpan News Desk IANS, 13 Jan, 2025 04:44 PM
  • Peanut Chikki

Ingredients: 

2 Cups of Gur (grated) 

1 Tbsp Desi ghee or oil – for greasing

2 Cups Peanuts (unsalted) 

Directions: 

Heat a pan and add peanuts to roast them lightly.

Remove and gently crush them to split them. Keep them aside.

In a fresh pan add jaggery and then place it on low heat. Allow the jaggery to melt and start boiling.  

Once it changes colour take a spoonful of molten jaggery and drop it in cold water.

Remove the piece of jaggery from the water and check if it crackles between the teeth with a cracking sound. Also, ensure it isnot chewy. At this stage, add the peanuts and mix them thoroughly.

On a chopping board or a marble top, grease lightly with desi ghee or  oil.

Remove the hot peanuts onto this greased surface and using a metal plate or a greased plastic film on top, firm press it to spread it.

Roll out the mixture thin using a rolling pin. Shape them into round ones. Allow it to completely cool and once hardened serve.
