    What is Chikki:

    Chikki is a traditional Indian Sweet made of Nut, Dry fruits, and Jaggery which looks like brittle.

    Rose Chikki:

    Rose chikki is a rich variation to the chikki recipe. It has Rose petals, Along with almonds, Peanuts and also finally flavored with rose extract.

    Ingredients:

    Peanuts - Use roasted and deskinned peanuts for the brittle. If you cant source roasted peanuts, you may try roasting them. In a pan dry roast the peanuts in medium flame until the color slightly changes to brown. Keep stirring so that the peanuts don't get hurt. If you press the peanut the skin should be gone and this means the peanuts are roasted. You can switch off allow the peanut to cool down and then remove the skin and use.

    Almonds - Chop the Almonds roughly and then use.

    Rose Petals - Use good quality rose petals for the chikki. I bought rose petals from amazon and I use them in my recipes. You may use them for Kheer, Granola, and many more.

    Jaggery - Jaggery help in holding the shape and gives the perfect caramelization for the chikki.

    Rose Water - This gives a nice flavor. You may try other flavors too if you prefer. But this goes well with Rose Petals.

    Coconut Oil - It again helps the chikki in its texture. You can replace It with Ghee (Clarified Butter) too.

    Water - Use only the mentioned quantity not more than that.

    Tips for perfect Rose Brittle:

    This is an easy no-fail method, No jaggery consistency is required. It is pretty straight forward.

    Make sure after adding the nuts and rose petals everything comes together as a whole mass. Leaving the sides of the pan.

    If the mixture is hard a few drops of water can be added.

    When it's still warm Roll everything like a flat layer and mark insertions to slice chikki.

    Variations to Rose Chikki:

    Few common variations are, we can use any nuts of our choice. In the recipe, I have used ¾ cup roasted peanuts and ½ cup Almonds.

    • As a variation, you can include pistachios, Walnuts, or even pecans.
    • As a rich version, we can use cashew nuts, Almonds, and pistachios.
    • You can also make it a Peanut Chikki.
    • we can also add Sesame seeds or Chia seeds.
    • The popular one is the murmura chikki . Add pori (puffed rice) and make it as pori chikki.
