Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Roasted peanuts
- 0.5 cup Date syrup
- 1 tablespoon Coconut oil
- 0.25 teaspoon Cardamom powder
- 1 pinch Salt
Instructions
Begin by dry roasting the peanuts in a skillet over low heat for 5-7 minutes until they become crisp. Allow them to cool, then gently rub them between your hands to remove the skins. Set aside the peeled peanuts.
In a heavy-bottomed pan, add the date syrup and coconut oil, then stir continuously over medium heat until the mixture slightly thickens and starts bubbling – this should take about 8-10 minutes.
Once the syrup is ready, reduce the heat to low and quickly add the roasted peanuts, cardamom powder, and a pinch of salt. Stir constantly ensuring the peanuts are well-coated with the syrup.
Grease a flat plate or baking sheet with a little coconut oil. Transfer the peanut mixture onto the greased surface and flatten it using a greased rolling pin or the back of a spoon to your desired thickness.
Let the chikki cool for about 15-20 minutes. Once it sets, use a sharp knife to cut it into pieces of your preferred size and shape.
Store the sugar-free peanut chikki in an airtight container at room temperature. Enjoy this healthy snack whenever you crave a sweet, crunchy treat!
