    Crunchy peanut chikki with jaggery is a popular Indian sweet. It is usually eaten during winter season and festival of Makar sankranti.Most westerners call it groundnut or peanut brittle. Most people know it as the Lonavala chikki recipe. Made very popular  by the pit-stop joints while travelling from Mumbai to Pune. Ghats of Lonavala and Khandala and some praline for munching. Perfect timepass.

    Some people call it singdana chiki / shengdana chikki or palli chikki / palli patti.Most people have eaten packets of maganlal chikki in mumbai and pune sold across all kirana stores. Peanuts are great for snacking. Make a bliss ball or a peanut butter ice cream. Simply air fry peanuts or just roast them with some spice mix. Groundnut chikki is very easy to make. The most important step to a brittle consistency is to check the drops of jaggery syrup in a bowl of water.Once confirmed, peanuts are added at the right stage. This step will get us a good chikki.
