Gud Peanut Chikki

🇮🇳 Indian

Peanut chikki, school-gate energy bar since forever. The taste of every good news day in an Indian household. Serve at room temperature, cut small — sweetness needs no size.

Prep 24 min Cook 59 min Serves 4 Hard

Ingredients

  • Salt1 tsp
  • Ghee3 tbsp
  • Peanuts1/2 cup, roasted
  • Sugarto taste
  • Jaggery3/4 cup, grated
  • Green Cardamom4, ground

Instructions

  1. 1

    Set out every ingredient measured and ready; Indian sweets move fast once the heat is on.

  2. 2

    Put the peanuts and jaggery on a steady medium flame and commit to stirring — sweets test your patience.

  3. 3

    Keep going until the mass pulls away from the pan and glistens; the colour should deepen a shade.

  4. 4

    Add the ghee, cardamom and any nuts or saffron; fold through and cook two minutes more.

  5. 5

    Shape or slice once it has cooled enough to handle; it firms up as it rests.

Chef's tip

If the masala sticks, add water a tablespoon at a time rather than drowning the dish.
