Equipment
Kadhai/wok
Spoons and Ladles
Airtight Container
Ingredients
2
cups
peanuts
200
grams
jaggery
grated
1
tsp
green cardamom powder
2
tbsp
water
Instructions
In a thick kadhai/wok roast the peanuts on low flame till they start to darken and you get a nice aroma.
Remove to a plate and let the peanuts cool.
Add the water in the heavy-bottomed kadhai/wok add the jaggery and let it stand for some time. The jaggery will dissolve.
Remove the skin by gently rubbing them. I used a tea towel and rubbed. This is an optional step.
Now place the jaggery on low flame and stir let it simmer for a few minutes.
Once the jaggery syrup thickens ( a drop of the syrup added to a bowl of water should form a softball).add the peanuts and cardamom. Mix well.
Remove from the flame and allow the mixture to cool till you can handle it.
Apply a little oil or ghee to your hands (this prevents burning) and make small balls.
Store in an air-tight container but finish them in 2 weeks.
Notes
Your test for the jaggery syrup being done is adding a drop of the syrup in a bowl of water. The syrup should form a soft ball.
