Chikki began it's journey in Maharashtra (lonavala). What began as a nutritious snack for workers has taken the entire country by storm in different forms.
Earlier, the original recipe used peanut, ghee, and sweetener. Over the years, the chikki's appeal to the masses has grown manifold. Today, we get a variety of these crunchy toffees.
Ingredients
70 grams of desiccated coconut (3/4 cup+1 tbsp)
70 grams of jaggery (1/2 cup)
How to make crispy coconut chikki with jaggery
Dry roast coconut for 1 minute ONLY.
Make a 2-string jaggery syrup. Check concistency by putting a drop of the cooking syrup in water. Wait for a few seconds. Then pick the drop and if it becomes a hard ball and breaks with a crunch. It's done.
Add in coconut powder and mix well.
Roll out the coconut jaggery dough on a greased surface.
Flatten into a thin sheet. Either make cuts with a pizza cutter or leave the slices like that. You can always break them with hands.
