Ingredients
- 200 grams Raw peanuts
- 150 grams Raw honey
- 1 teaspoon Coconut oil
- 0.5 teaspoon Sea salt
Directions
Step 1
Begin by dry roasting the raw peanuts in a thick-bottomed pan over medium heat for 8-10 minutes or until lightly browned and fragrant. Stir continuously to ensure even roasting and avoid burning.
Step 2
Once roasted, remove the peanuts from the heat and allow them to cool slightly. Once cooled, gently rub them between your hands to remove their skins. Discard the skins and set the peanuts aside.
Step 3
Grease a flat tray or plate with a little coconut oil and set it aside. This will be used for spreading the peanut chikki mixture later.
Step 4
In the same pan, add the raw honey and heat it over a low flame. Stir continuously with a wooden spatula, maintaining low heat to prevent the honey from burning. Heat the honey until it becomes slightly thick, about 5-7 minutes.
Step 5
Add the roasted peanuts and sea salt to the honey in the pan. Mix quickly and thoroughly until all peanuts are well coated with honey. This should be done swiftly as the mixture can harden quickly.
Step 6
Immediately transfer the hot peanut mixture onto the greased tray. Using a greased spatula or rolling pin, flatten the mixture to your desired thickness. Work quickly as the mixture will start to set as it cools.
Step 7
Let the chikki cool completely at room temperature before cutting it into pieces of your desired size and shape.
Step 8
Once cooled, break or cut the chikki into pieces and store them in an airtight container. Enjoy this Paleo-friendly snack as a sweet treat anytime!
