While cleaning the pantry last week i came across this mixed nuts box and planned to make something sweet. Found this perfect recipe which would satisfy my sweet tooth and also the dieter in me as only nuts and jaggery are used. I made some small changes to the original recipe from priyaeasyandtastyrecipes and made these yummy chikkis.
Ingredients :
1/2cup Raw peanuts
1/4cup Almonds
1/4cup Cashews
1/4cup Pistachios
1/3cup Sesame seeds
4tbsp melon seeds
1+1/2cups Jaggery
Pinch Salt
1tsp Cardamom powder
Method :Roast the peanuts in a pan and remove the skins and keep aside.In the same pan, dry roast the almonds,cashews,pistachios one by one until you get a nice aroma.
Heat 1/4cup of water in a heavy bottomed vessel, add the jaggery and heat in a medium flame until the jaggery is completely dissolved.Strain the jaggery water with a strainer. This helps to get rid of the mud and other impurities presents in the jaggery.
Now heat the jaggery water in high flame, they will start bubbling vigorously.Keep stirring to avoid burning. Once thick, just put a drop of the jaggery in cold water. If the jaggery can be rolled into a ball then add the nuts, seeds, cardamom powder and salt to the jaggery syrup.Stir well until combined.
Grease a plate,pour this mixture and let it cool completely. Cut into desired shape and store in an airtight container.
