chikki

If you have a sweet-tooth like my husband, then chikki is probably the most easy-to-make and tasty-to-eat sweet ....yummy :) Here I have used only groundnuts. Cashews, almonds and a mixture of all the above can be used.

Ingredients

• Groundnuts – one and half cup
• Sugar – about one cup
• Ghee – 2 teaspoons

Method

• Roast the groundnuts in a kadai on a medium flame.After it cools, rub off the skin and crush lightly with hand
• Grease a plate with ghee and set aside
• Melt the sugar in a thick bottomed kadai over a very low flame.
• When it has melted and turned slightly golden, remove from the flame and add the nuts while stirring briskly.
• Quickly pour into the greased plate and cut into small squares

Preparation time: 15 minutes
