Love this Traditional Sindhi Diwali special chikki (gurdhani). I wonder why we only wait for Diwali to make this. We should make it more often. Lovely presentation as always.
Thanks totally agree with you. Why wait ? It is too tempting to wait for Diwali. Let’s make it right away.
Believe it or not, I’ve not had roasted chana chikki. I know it is widely sold in India but I’ve always opted for peanut or sesame seeds one. Your recipe is tempting me to try this chikki out at home. Looks so tempting.
Thanks. Roasted chana chikki variation is typically available during festivities unlike the sesame or peanut chikki that are available throughout the year. Do give it a try. In fact I prefer this the most.
They look delicious and something different in chikki. Roasted chana chikki is ideal to store as a snack at home.
Thanks. This chikki is in fact better than store bought. Do give it a try.
