Ingredients

Peanuts
100 Grams
Ghee clarified butter
1 Table Spoon
Jaggery cane
100 Grams
Water
50 Milliliter

Instructions

1
Roast the peanuts
Heat a pan, dry roast the peanuts for 5-6 minutes. Once the peanut turns slightly black in color, switch off the flame, cool them. Now remove the skin of peanuts by rubbing them in between the palms.
2
Cook the jaggery
Make a powder of jaggery and keep it aside. In a separate vessel, heat ghee, add powdered jaggery, water, stir and cook well so that a thick syrup is formed. Drop the syrup in cold water to see if it solidifies. This is known as the hardball stage.
3
Transfer it to greased plate
Once the jaggery syrup reaches the hardball stage, add the roasted peanuts to the pan and mix well till peanuts are well coated with the syrup. Grease a plate with little ghee, transfer the mixture to it, and spread well. Mark lines with a knife so that it's easier to cut into pieces once it's set. Let the chikki cool completely.
4
Cool it
Cool the chikki completely once it becomes hard break it into pieces. Enjoy it to curb sweet cravings.

Health Goals Suitability

Common Mistakes

Using too much oil or ghee

Why it matters: Excess oil can double the calorie content without adding nutritional value.

Fix: Measure oil with a tablespoon instead of pouring freely. 1 tbsp = 120 kcal.

Not measuring serving size

Why it matters: The nutrition values are for 1 standard serving. Eating 2-3x the serving means 2-3x the kcal (251.8-377.7 kcal).

Fix: Use the Hint app to scan and log the exact portion you eat for accurate tracking.
