    Peanut Chikki with jaggery is a popular Indian sweet.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.

    FAQs

    how to make chikki with jaggery ?

    You can easily make chikki with jaggery, you just need to cook the jaggery to the right level as shown in the recipe above.

    Variations

    This gur ki patti is actually a traditional candy. You can make it with sugar also. Although traditionally, we use a spoonful of ghee but you can make it vegan by using any vegetable oil or coconut oil. Use jaggery or gud to provide natural sweetness in the brittle. You may use coconut sugar if you do not have jaggery.

    Storage

    Store it in an air tight container at room temperature.
