peanut chikki
Chikki is a popular sweet snack in the Indian subcontinent. In some parts of India, It is also known as Gud patti, Layyiya patti, or layee. Chikki traditionally made from Groundnut and jaggery, there are several different varieties of chikki in addition to the most common groundnut chikki. Each variety of chikki is named depending upon the ingredients used, which include puffed or roasted Bengal gram, sesame, puffed rice, beaten rice, or Desiccated Coconut.
        Some chikkis are made using a combination of these ingredients. Special chikkis are made out of Cashew, Almonds, and Pistachios. Though jaggery is the usual sweetener material, sugar is used as the base in certain types of chikkis. Chikki is being commonly prepared at Makar Sankranti and Lohri festival. It’s a common winter snack in India.
    Here I am sharing the most popular variation of chikki, Peanut chikki. Chikki made with just three ingredients, but it’s a perfect combination of Roasted groundnuts and jaggery which provide it the unique taste. It’s a healthy and protein pack snack for everyone. You can store the peanut chikki in an airtight container for months.
