Peanut Chikki Recipe: How To Make Moongfali Chikki
Chikki is a popular South Indian sweet that is prepared with roasted peanuts and jaggery syrup. Moongfali chikki is mainly prepared in Maharashtra during festivals; however, it is famous in most of South India as well.
The groundnut chikki is an all-time kids' favourite sweet and hence made for all celebrations or generally during winter. It is rich in iron and protein and is given to kids as a snack. The crunch and brittleness of the jaggery and the peanuts make it a mouth-watering sweet.
