Chikki with sugar

1. Contributor: Shailaja Kiran
Chikki ante gurthu vachindhi... my mom makes a chikki with sugar which tastes like heaven for me....

Here it goes like this...

1 cup roasted and pealed groundnuts - grind it to a course powder
1 cup sugar
before starting the procedure of making this chikki on a flat surface or in a baking tray nicely spray ghee or oil and keep it ready... and also oil the rolling pin

procedure : Once the peanut powder is ready..... in a medium heat melt sugar in a non stick pan with out adding water. Stir it continously, after a minute or so sugar will start melting and melts completely... once it melts completely switch off the stove and immediately add these powder and stir continuously with out any lumps.... once done put the mixture on the tray/flat surface and start spreading the mixturewith the rolling pin...this procudure needs to be made faster as the sugar will start setting back again..... but the result would be wonderfull...

some cashews (optional... if ur also using cashews .. then dry roast the cashews and make a course powder... )

if ur also using cashews balance the peanut and cashews to 1 cup for 1 cup sugar...
