  • Keep stirring continuously .
  • Sugar will start melting.
  • Add 3-4 drops of lime juice to this sugar.
  • Slowly the  melted sugar will caramelize . It will change color to amber. Keep flame low.
  • To test, drop a little of the melted sugar in a bowl of cold water. the sugar will become hard and brittle. This is the correct time to add the Roasted Chana.
  • So now add Roasted Chana.
  • Put off the  flame. Combine the sugar and roasted chana well.
  • Transfer the ball like mass on to a greased work surface.
  • Roll out quickly and as thin as possible. Grease your hands before handling this hot mass of sugar and chana.

Notes

  • Store the Chikki in airtight containers otherwise it tends to become soft after a few days specially in humid places.
  • Do not be tempted to melt large quantity of sugar in one batch. Work with that much quantity with which you can handle to roll. Then again repeat sugar melting process for the next batch of Chikki.
  • Keep a careful eye over the melting of sugar. It can become dark and burn very fast.
