Peanut Candy (Kadalai Urundai/ Mittai)/ Chikki



Kadala Mittai

Recipe and Photo Courtesy: Rathi (my cousin)

This is the Kadala urundai recipe from my cousin Rathi. All of us at home love peanut candy either in the form of tiny rolls or slabs (chikki). Rathi makes it really well and the best part is that she makes it in minutes in microwave! This recipe serves 3. Working time 10 minutes.

Ingredients:


50 grams of roasted broken groundnuts (deskinned)
6 tbsp of Grated Jaggery / Gur
1tsp of Cardamom Powder
Procedure:


Heat jaggery at high in Microwave for 1-2 mins with monitoring to let it melt
Test a drop of melted jaggery in water if it hardens,its the correct consistency.
Add the roasted nut and cardamom powder and mix well.
Let it cool for a while. When just warm make balls of it and let it aside for it to cool.
Yummy Kadalai urundai in 10 minutes at your home.
