Do we use water when melting sugar? If so how much water. Before adding the cashews what should be the sugar texture? Or how much time? Reply :- You dont need any water to melt the sugar. Just melt it in a low temperature till the sugar is golden brown in colour and then add the nuts. |
| Comment by Rani on 01 November 2008 01:06AM I have roasted and salted peanuts.Will it be good to make peanut chikki Reply :- Hi rani, roasted unsalted peanuts is needed for this recipe. just put the peanuts in a ziploc bag and beat it a couple of times. all the skin will come out. hopefully most of the salt will go out with the skin. then u can make chikkis. you can also make the same chikkis with almonds, cashews, sesame seeds etc, |
