Ingredients
- 1ΒΌ cup Roasted peanuts
- 1 cup Jaggery
- 1 tsp Desi ghee
Instructions
- Take ghee in a heavy-bottomed pan. Add the finely chopped jaggery once the ghee melts. Stir continuously for 4-5 minutes till it melts completely. Cook it till it becomes a dark colour and forms a ball-like structure. To check the consistency of jaggery, add a few drops in a bowl of water. If it develops into a solid ball then it is done, but if it stretches cook again for some time. Once you are satisfied with the consistency, turn off the gas. Add the roasted peanuts and mix well. The peanuts should be well coated with the jaggery mix. Pour this quickly in a pre-greased board and roll out evenly. After it has cooled down completely, cut into pieces.
