Ingredients
  

Ingredients
  • 1 cup Peanuts Roasted and skin removed
  • 3/4 cup Jaggery Grated
  • 1 tsp Ghee
  • 1/4 tsp Cardamom powder

Equipment

  • Non-stick pan
  • Mixer grinder
  • Spatula
  • Tray or thali
  • Butter paper

Method
 

  1. Grind the roasted peanuts into a coarse powder. Do not make it too fine.
  2. Heat jaggery and 2 tablespoons of water in a pan on low flame. Let it melt completely.
  3. Once the jaggery melts, add ghee and mix well.
  4. Add the peanut powder and cardamom powder to the melted jaggery. Mix quickly to form a thick dough.
  5. Transfer the mixture onto a butter paper–lined plate. Flatten it evenly with a greased spatula.
  6. Cut into squares while warm. Let it cool completely before storing.

Notes

You can add chopped nuts for extra crunch. Use jaggery powder for faster melting. Store in an airtight box for 7–10 days.
