Ingredients
- 1 cup Peanuts raw/ roasted
- ¾ cup Jaggery grated
- ½ tablespoon Ghee
- 1 tablespoon Rose Water
- 2 tablespoon Pistachios chopped
- ½ tablespoon Fennel Seeds Powder
Instructions
- Remove the peanut skin and transfer the peanuts to a skillet. At medium-low heat, cook peanuts for 5-10 minutes until the peanuts are roasted & their raw smell disappears. Or you can roast them in an oven at 350°F for 5-8 minutes. You can also air-fry for 5-8 minutes at 350°F.
- Transfer grated jaggery in a skillet at medium-low heat. Keep stirring jaggery & ghee until it melts. Once the jaggery is melted, keep stirring it continuously until the color turns brown & the jaggery starts to turn a little hard. Once the jaggery is melted, add rose water & mix the ingredients until they are combined.
- Mix roasted peanuts with jaggery & stir till the peanuts are coated with jaggery. Line the parchment paper in a baking tray. Transfer the mixture to parchment paper and place another parchment paper on top. Flatten the mixture using hands or rolling pin until ¼ -inch thickness.
- Sprinkle some fennel seeds & pistachios on the top layer and let it rest for few minutes.
- Once cooled down, the chikkis will be hard. Cut the chikkis in square or in desired shapes using a knife.
- Once the chikkis completely cool down, transfer them in air-tight container. You can store them for up to 1 month.
Notes
- Powdered jaggery works best for the recipe. If you don't have powdered jaggery then try to grate the jaggery finely.
- Try to melt jaggery at low heat. If you cook it at high, jaggery might burn and will not taste that good. You can also use a double boiler.
- If using raw peanuts then first remove the skin. Then roast them at medium heat until the raw smell of peanuts disappears.
- You can use whole peanuts, but I like adding roughly chopped ones.
- Keep stirring jaggery continuously when it is melting.
- You can either layer the peanuts first and pour melted jaggery on it. Or you can mix peanuts with jaggery & transfer that into a baking tray to cool it down.
