Instructions

Prepare the Peanuts

Roast the groundnuts in a dry pan over medium heat, stirring frequently, until fragrant and lightly browned. Remove from heat and let cool completely. Once cool, remove any skins by rubbing the peanuts together in a clean kitchen towel.

Make the Jaggery Syrup

In a heavy-bottomed pan or wok, melt the jaggery over low heat, stirring constantly to prevent burning. Continue stirring until the jaggery melts completely and forms a smooth syrup. This may take 10-15 minutes.

Combine and Spread

Add the roasted peanuts to the melted jaggery syrup and stir well to coat evenly. Grease a flat plate or tray lightly with ghee.

Set and Cut

Pour the mixture onto the prepared plate and spread it out evenly to about ¼ inch thickness. Let it cool and harden completely (at least 30 minutes). Once firm, break the chikki into desired sized pieces.
