Tips for Making Oily Peanut Chikki:

Dry roasting peanuts until they turn golden and remove the skin. Throw it firmly to enjoy the nut texture.

Keep butter paper or plastic paper to set the chikki. You can also set it on a plate; but be sure to lubricate it with ghee before setting.

The consistency of the gur syrup is the key to the perfect chikki. To test consistency, take a bowl of cold water and pour some syrup into it. Wait 3-4 minutes and check if it has turned into hard toffee. If so, your gur syrup is ready for use.

Always add ghee to the gur syrup to get a shiny texture.

Turn the flame while adding the nuts to the gur and mix everything quickly to prevent lumps.

So, what are you waiting for? Follow these steps and prepare lip-smacking peanut chikki at home without struggle.
