    We are starting the second week of BM#60, this week featuring Festival Foods. I wanted to focus on Sankranthi Special dishes and decided to check out what special dishes are made across India.

    Our Sankranthi holidays are mostly spent at my SIL's home. This year will be the first in many years that we are not going and will be at home. I remember my childhood when we used to visit my father's village where sugarcane is the main crop during this period. I have seen jaggary being made and it was so interesting to watch it being made. While I don't exactly remember this chikki being made, I checked out that this Dry Fruits Chikki is made in Punjab for the Lohri.

    Lohri special dishes seem to be around these dry fruits chikki and it actually was a breeze. I was inspired by this and wanted to make it right away. It turned out so good and in much less time for the amount I made. Hubby dear in fact said he would prefer this way to eat the dry fruits in jaggary. So make this and enjoy it!





    Dry Fruit Chikki

    Ingredients Needed:

    Badam - 15 nos
    Pista - 15 nos
    Cashew - 15 nos
    Raisins - 15 nos
    Jaggery - 1/4 cup, grated.
    Ghee - 3 tbsp

    How to make the Dry Fruits Chikki

    Grate jaggery or break into pieces.

    Heat a nonstick pan with ghee and then add the jaggery to mix well.

    Let it cook for 5 mins until the jaggery is melted and starts leaving on the side.

    Now add the dry fruits to the jaggery mix. Let it stand for a few mins.

    Grease a plate with ghee and transfer the dry fruits to the plate.

    Allow it to cool and break into bite-size pieces.

      I am somewhat sceptical while trying sweets with jaggery because of the syrup consistency. This looks like an easy to manage recipe and full of dry fruit goodness..
