dry fruit chikki recipe | kaju badam chikki | mixed nuts chikki with step by step photo and video recipe. chikki recipes are popular nut-based sweet snack from the popular south indian or western indian cuisine. the most famous or the traditional one is to make with groundnuts in a jaggery syrup, but lately, there have been many variations to it and has onboarded many other nuts. one such popular variation is dry fruit chikki recipe, made with a myriad choice of dry fruits.
i am a huge fan of traditional chikki recipes which is made just with peanuts and jaggery. i personally do not like the other variations like sesame. sunflower seeds or any other seeds based chikki. having said that i have a lot of respect for this premium mixed nuts chikki. the main reason being the use of mixed premium nuts in it. as a matter of fact, i make this often and consume it as a protein bar or energy bar and not as a chikki. the commercially available energy bars are no different than this recipe. perhaps they may have more choice of the nut with chocolate or coconut flavour in it to make it more attractive. nevertheless, kaju badam chikki is still a wonderful snack and can be served for myriad occasions.
furthermore, before wrapping up the recipe, some tips, suggestions and variations for dry fruit chikki recipe. firstly, i would heavily recommend you to have equal proportions of nuts for this recipe. yet to make it thrifty and economical, you can reduce the quantity of premium nuts and add peanuts. secondly, do not forget to add clarified butter or ghee while cooking jaggery syrup. it helps to have the glossy look and also makes it less brittle. lastly, these chikki easily last long for 2-3 weeks when stored in an airtight container. also while shaping and cutting the chikki, make sure to have small square-shaped chikkis.
