    Ingredients

    The following are the ingredients needed to prepare around 10 - 15 pieces of  Verusenaga Chikki,

    •  Verusenaga - 1 cup
    • Jaggery - 3/4 cup 
    • Water - a few tablespoons used while melting jaggery
    • Cardamom powder - 1-2 pinch
    • Ghee - as required for greasing.

    Preparation Steps

    1. Dry roast the Verusenaga in a pan at a low flame. Do not over roast. Transfer the roasted peanuts to a bowl after peeling the skin off and keep it aside.
    2. Add jaggery to a pan and a little water and melt it completely. 
    3. Clean the melted jaggery using a filter and add it to a fresh pan.
    4. Cook the jaggery in a low to medium flame until it thickens. 
    5. You need to get a consistency where it is thick enough for a candy. Be very cautious and don't let it turn dark as it can spoil the taste. 
    6. To test the consistency, take some water in a small bowl and drop a few drops of jaggery in it. 
    7. If it turns into a glass like structure which is breakable then it is perfect. 
    8. At this stage add the roasted  Verusenaga and cardamom powder. Give it a mix. You can switch off the flame in one or two minutes after adding  Verusenaga.
    9. Once it has mixed well transfer the contents to a square shaped container that is greased with ghee. 
    10. Use a greased spoon too while filling and pressing it inside.
    11. Soon the contents get the shape of the container. You can flip it on a plate and remove the big bar of  Verusenaga and jaggery. 
    12. Using a greased knife cut it into small pieces. This can be stored in an airtight container and enjoyed for over a month.
