How to make Peanut Chikki
Preparation time: 2minutes
Cooking time: 5-7 minutes for roasting peanuts + 7-8 minutes for Gur

Ingredients:

1 cup Peanuts
200 grams gur
1 tsp ghee
1 tsp saunf/fennel seeds

To make Peanut Chikki

First of all, prepare your surface for spreading Chikki. Clean your kitchen counter and grease some area with ghee.

Dry roast peanuts in a heavy bottomed pan for 5-7 minutes.

 

Rub the peanuts with your hands so that their cover separates. Crush them lightly with rolling pin/belan.

Now in the same pan cook Gur.

 

This is the color of gur we start with.

 

This is how dark Gur should turn.

It will turn dark brown after 5-7 minutes and its aroma will also change. Add ghee in the melted gur.

Add saunf and roasted peanuts in the cooked Gur.

Mix everything quickly.

Spread the chikki mixture quickly on the greased surface.
It sets real fast. You can break the pieces later on with hand easily.

Chikki is ready. Store in a dry container and Enjoy 🙂
