Chikki (Peanut Burfi) / Kadala Mittai

February 4, 2011 by Sharmilee J 55 Comments

I think most of us must have tasted chikki/peanut burfi. It is one of my favourites, but never knew this could be so easy to make with only 2 main ingredients.

Peanut Burfi(Chikki) Recipe

I was not aware that caramelising sugar is as simple as just melting the sugar in a dry pan until nithi cleared me ๐Ÿ™‚

Ingredients:
Recipe Reference : 4th sense cooking
  • Peanuts – 1 cup
  • Sugar – 3/4 cup (Orginal called for 1 cup, but 3/4 cup was sufficient for me)
Method:
  1. Dry roast the peanuts until crsipy and when the skin starts coming out. Take out the skin of the peanuts and powder them until fine. Grease a pan with butter/ghee and keep it ready.
  2. Take a dry pan and add sugar in it. Heat it till the sugar melts completely(Do not add water). Simmer, add the peanut powder and mix well until no lumps are formed. Swich off.
  3. Immediately transfer it to the greased plate and flatten them using chapathi roller. Then draw line with butter/ghee greased knife immediately. Be very quick in doing this step else the chikkis will harden and the lines cant be drawn.

  5. Allow it to cool down for 10mins and break the chikkis along the drawn lines.Chikkis are ready!



Peanut Burfi(Chikki) Recipe
My Notes:
  • The only and main important thing to note down is you have to be very quick after the peanut powder is added. You cannot mark lines when the burfi is cooled so draw lines immediately.
  • These are slightly sticky by texture and crispy like the store bought ones.
Isnt that super fast and easy?! I bet kids will luv it! The only time consuming part is peeling the skinof peanuts. You can get readymade roasted skin peeled peanuts which makes it all the more easy.

    hey sharmille, i'm a silent follower of ur blog and ve tried amny recipes of urs.. i tried this peanut chikki today. but i turned slightly bitter. is it because i left the sugar to caramalise a little more??? i left on medium for a couple of mins after the sugar melted completely

    Reply
  43. Sharmilee! :) says

    July 27, 2011 at 4:30 pm

    Thank u Ramya for following sharmispassions ๐Ÿ™‚ The bitterness may be because of leaving the sugar to caramelise for a little more time or due to the skin of peanuts….Did u remove the skin completely?

    Reply
  44. ramya mukund says

    July 29, 2011 at 5:29 am

    hey sharmilee, yes, i removed the skin totally. i guess it shud be because i caramelised the sugar a little more than needed.
    and i tried again today and as soon as the sugar melted i added the peanuts today and i ve got a totaaly non sticky ,very very light brownsih chikki. tastes nice, but still ….

    last time, it looked perfect but tasted slightly bitter. this time, tastes okay but looks different.. the peanuts r making me go nuts ๐Ÿ™

    Hi Sharmilee / Ramya … The bitter taste either comes from the skin of the pea nut or from the germination part of the peanut. If you break the peanut in to two halves, u can find a small germination part of the peanut at the tip, before powdering the peanut remove those and grind it so that you will not get the bitter taste. Also if you have over roasted the peanut there may be a chance to get the bitter taste…
