Ingredients:
- 2 cups raw peanuts
- 1 cup jaggery (gur)
- 2 tablespoons water
- 1 teaspoon cardamom powder
- 1 tablespoon ghee (clarified butter)
Instructions:
- Roast the peanuts: Heat a non-stick pan over medium heat. Add the peanuts and roast them for 5-6 minutes or until they turn golden brown. Keep stirring the peanuts to avoid burning them. Once done, remove them from the pan and let them cool down.
- Prepare the jaggery syrup: In the same pan, add the jaggery and water. Stir until the jaggery dissolves completely. Turn the heat to low and let the syrup cook for 4-5 minutes. Check the consistency of the syrup by dropping a little bit of it in a bowl of water. If it forms a hard ball, the syrup is ready.
- Add the cardamom powder and ghee: Once the syrup is ready, add the cardamom powder and ghee to it. Mix well until the ghee melts and gets incorporated into the syrup.
- Add the roasted peanuts: Add the roasted peanuts to the syrup and mix well. Make sure that all the peanuts are coated evenly with the syrup.
- Set the mixture in a greased plate: Grease a plate with some ghee and pour the peanut mixture onto it. Use a spatula to spread the mixture evenly in the plate.
- Cut into pieces: Let the peanut gachak cool down for 10-15 minutes. Once it has cooled down a bit, use a sharp knife to cut it into desired pieces.
- Let it cool down completely: Let the peanut gachak cool down completely before removing it from the plate. This will ensure that it becomes crunchy and easy to handle.
