Skip the water when making jaggery syrup-it messes up the texture. Heat some ghee in a pan, add jaggery, and cook until it turns thick and sticky.

You can use peanuts or dry fruits, depending on what you like. Both work great for chikki.

Dry roast the peanuts or dry fruits in a little ghee to make them extra crunchy and tasty.

Mix a bit of baking soda into the jaggery syrup. It helps make the chikki crisp and soft at the same time.

Before spreading the mixture, grease your tray with ghee. Flatten the chikki to about 1 inch thick for perfect pieces.

Once it cools, cut it into squares and store it in an airtight container to keep it fresh and crunchy.
