Gur Chana Chikki Recipe | Jaggery and Roasted Chickpeas Chikki with step wise pictorial and video method.

When the word “chikki” appears, it is mostly the “peanut chikki” or “til chikki” pops up in the mind but the chikki made by combining jaggery and roasted chickpeas hardly find it’s place. This is so because Gur Chana Chikki is such a lesser known recipe and even we can’t find it in the market as well, not atleast at our place.

This Gur Chana Chikki is such a variation that is not just random but powerful and nutritious.

Crunchy, earthy and satisfying, roasted chickpeas when connected to warm sweetener which is deeply connected to Ayurveda and seasonal eating Jaggery, together they turn out to be a energy boosters.

These 2 simple ingredients when come together, they create magic.

So if you want to try something different from mungfali chikki and til gur chikki, then this recipe which has the deep caramel-like flavour of jaggery engulfed with the crunch of healthy roasted chana, is completely for you.

STEP WISE PICTORIAL RECIPE OF GUR CHANA CHIKKI RECIPE

Take desi ghee in a pan and add jaggery.

Cook on low heat while stirring continuously otherwise jaggery may burn. Soon the jaggery will completely melt and turn into a syrup. After 10 minutes of cooking, drop bit of jaggery in a small bowl carrying water. Then stretch it. As it was stretching like a rubber, which means jaggery is not properly cooked. Cook for more time. Now after 5 mins, repeat the same process and this time jaggery is not stretching, rather has turned hard like candy. It’s a sign that jaggery is properly cooked.

Add roasted chickpeas (skin intact), white sesame seeds, cardamom powder and coconut. Mix fast. Immediately, without any delay drop and spread this hot jaggery mixture on a greased thali or butter paper. When it is slightly firm but still hot, cut into pieces of desired size.

Let it cool down completely. Take out and enjoy.

NOTES 

1. Do not remove the skin of roasted chana because it is rich in dietary fibre and has more nutrients.
2. Either you can totally skip coconut and white sesame seeds or alternatively in addition to them, also add other seeds and nuts of your choice.
