Til peanut chikki is very famous sweet in India during the winter season. Basically prepared with peanut and jaggery syrup, but can also be made using puffed rice, sesame seeds or mix combination. Til peanut chikki is the combination of til/sesame seeds and peanut mixed in jaggery syrup. Addition of cardamom powder and little ghee enhances its flavor.

I love this combination of chikki also called brittle bar and everybody whoever tasted it enjoy having it. This is again a very simple recipe using jaggery syrup, We keep preparing this at home throughout the year as there is no harm in consuming it as it has less quantity of til or sesame seeds. Sesame seeds having warm property and consuming them in summer cam create excessive heat in the body. So to savor this sweet I needed them in moderation.

Til Peanut Chikki

 Ingredients                                    Yields 12-16 pieces

Method

1. Dry roast the peanut in a pan. Let them cool down and get their skin off.
2.  Dry roast the til or sesame seeds. This takes only 2-3 min, roasting more than this will make seeds brown in color.
3. Grease a plate or tray and keep it ready.
4. Take water, ghee, and jaggery in a heavy bottom pan and heat on medium flame. Jaggery will start melting and soon bubbling. Keep stirring it on medium heat. Drop a little quantity in normal water and check if jaggery syrup is hardening. If not then heat 1-2 min more.
5. If it hardens than add chopped almonds, cardamom powder, til and peanut.
6. Mix well and pour on the greased plate/tray.
7. Flatten it with the help of a greased rolling pin.
8. Let it cool down and cut them into square or rectangle pieces.

1. Jaggery syrup should be checked in water before adding rest of the ingredients. Just pour 2-3 drops in water and see if it hardens. If not then keep boiling it on low flame for 1 or 2 mins more. Repeat this process until you notice.
2. Chikki is completely depended on the jaggery syrup. Based on that texture will be soft or crunchy.
