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.

Saffron & Rose Poached Apricot Pavlova

Saffron & Rose Poached Apricot Pavlova
I love this dessert, the meringue can be made the day before, the fruit and syrup can be done the day before or earlier in the day and all you need to do is whip the cream and put it all together. It is also a really impressive dessert and is truly delicious. I have poached the apricots in saffron and rose and they slightly remind me of fruity gulab jamun. You can make this as one large one or smaller individual ones.
