Action:
- For this, first of all roast the mung dal in a pan on low flame stirring continuously. Once the dal turns golden, turn off the heat and let it cool.
- Grind the roasted dal coarsely in a mixer. Do not make a very fine powder.
- Heat ghee in the same pan and add grated jaggery to it. Keep stirring on low flame until jaggery is completely dissolved.
- When the jaggery melts and turns into a paste, add pounded mung dal and cardamom powder.
- Mix all the mixture quickly and switch off the flame.
- Pour the mixture into a lightly greased plate and spread it evenly by rolling.
- While still warm, cut into desired size pieces with a knife or fork. After cooling completely, the batter will thicken.
- Do not overcook the jaggery, otherwise the pulp may become too tough.
- If desired, you can also add cashew nuts, almonds or sesame seeds.
- This chikki will last for 15-20 days in an airtight container.
